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

does anybody used it ? does it works ? how ?
thanks
