We can use three simple ways to sign a document from any device you want electronically:

1. 
   

   Scan And Upload Your Signature: First, sign your name on a white paper sheet using deep ink. Then, take a picture of this signature with your phone. You can also scan it on your computer. Once you are done with the process, you can save it in a secure location.

   
   


2. 
   

   Type Your Signature Using A Smartphone Or Computer: In case you are working with a word processor, you can take an alternate path too. You can type your signature first and then adjust fonts to give it a signature-like look.

   
   


3. 
   

   Draw Your Signature Using Your Fingers On Your Device: For this step, first open any drawing program or app that you have on your computer, phone, or tablet. You can draw your signature with your finger, stylus, mouse, or stylus. To make sure it is safe, save it in any secure location.

But, even if you do not, any of the above options can work well. The best choice for you would actually depend on your document device, software, or office setup. 

How Can You Create An Electronic Signature Using Microsoft Word?

Say you need a signature in a Microsoft Word document, what would you do then? You can do that by following any of this three ways:

   Scan And Insert Image Of Your Handwritten Signature: If you've created a snapshot of your handwritten signature with you as mentioned in the instructions above, then your work is half-done. You can quickly add your signature file at any appropriate point. If you want to avoid formatting issues, just right-click on your signature image, hover over "wrap text," and select "in line with the text." That's it!

   
   


2. 
   

   Add A Signature Line: It depends on your needs eventually. You can choose to add a pre-formatted signature line from the "Insert" menu. This can be a placeholder for your signature until you can physically sign it or type it in later.

   
   


3.
