Microsoft Word on Mac: How To Sign Documents (2024)

Absolutely, that's possible.

In Microsoft Word you're able to hand-draw your signature and then even place it on a document.

Check out Section 1 of our guide here (with pictures and step-by-step instructions!).

Adding your signature to a Word document is easy:

1. Click where you want to add the signature
2. Select Insert in the top menu
3. Choose Signature
4. Add it to the document

Yes you can! You can either draw a signature by hand, or add one if you already have it

To draw a handwritten signature in Word:

1. Click “Insert” in the top bar
2. Select “Drawing”
3. Make sure you click “Draw” as the 2nd option → then select a pen
4. Start drawing your signature
5. Click “Save and Close”
6. Once you signature is added, make sure you resize it, as MS Word makes it full-width by default. Voila! That’s your signature.

This will definitely work better on a laptop with a touchpad, rather than with a mouse on a desktop device. Or, probably the best way, with a pencil on a tablet.
