I have done this successfully. Initially, I had some sighted assistance resizing the picture properly, I saved it as a .gif, and have been inserting it successfully into documents for sometime now. An added benefit is that I had a stamp made of the signature as well and I can use it as my legal signature. Very handy when I was having to sign a lot of documents. CAUTION!! Don't Lose It if you do this!

Subject: RE: Electronic signature I found the following Q&A that gives what is probably the best solution. I would use sighted assistance the first time to make sure the signature came out well, but once the graphic file is created, I assume JAWS users can fill in their electronic signature independently from then on. I'll confirm later. I neglected to note the webpage's address, but here's the text: How do I create an electronic signature that I can import into a Word Document in a signature line? Write the signature on a piece of paper, and then scan the paper. Tell the scanner software to save the resulting picture as a graphic file in any of the common formats, such as JPG, GIF, or PNG. In Word, use the Insert > Picture > From File command to import the graphic file. You may want to store the graphic as an AutoText in your Word template, so it can be inserted in any document. -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Bruce [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2014 2:20 PM To: Adrian Spratt; 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Subject: RE: Digital signature I wish I did, but I have found it really difficult. It seems when I try I have to size the signature and then make sure it is actually placed in the right place - all visual as far as I can tell. So, I would also appreciate any information on this. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt via Jfw Sent: November 6, 2014 3:14 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: RE: Digital signature Correction. I'm looking for how to add an electronic signature, not a digital signature, with JAWS. I just discovered the two concepts are different. Anyone have experience with this function? -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2014 10:55 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Digital signature I have no experience with digital signatures, but today I was asked to attach one to a document. I've looked up the subject online to find that applying the concept seems daunting. Any suggestions on digital signatures with JAWS? For anyone interested, this blog page gives what seems like a good explanation of digital signatures and how to execute them in Office 2010: http://blogs.technet.com/b/office2010/archive/2009/12/08/digital-signitures- in-office-2010.aspx -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
