o    3 Click "Add a digital signature."

o    4 Click "OK" to use the default digital signature or choose "Signature Services from the Office Marketplace," to go to a Microsoft web site that maintains a list of third-party signature services integrated with Microsoft Office, and links to web sites for more information. To use any of these services to digitally sign your document, you must either purchase them or download a free trial.
