asked on

how to electronically sign a document in office by many users

Hello,
we are currently using sharepoint to approve documents (electronically sign them)
we want to move and manage our documents in network libraries on our storage.
i wondered how we can sign the documents electronically without a third party SW, and i heard that microsoft office has an option to create an electronicall signature
see link:

thanks

So basically you say:
if i'm going down this path, i have to purchase/acquire for free a third party digital certificate..

I want to know know something more fundamental...
does anybody used this method ? is it available in office 2010/2013 ?
is it a valid way to have multiple people sign a document ?
and how ? how do i initiate this signature from inside office (where is the button) ?
thanks

I forgot to mention, digital signatures are NOT legally binding in ALL jurisdictions. Check with your legal department to find out what the status is where YOU work.
