Insert Digital Signature

[Guest]

I have a template in PowerPoint for certificates. As of now I am printing
the certificate, signing it, scanning and resending. How do you make a
digital signature (my actual signature) with no background that I can simply
insert into any document that requires a signature?

You would need to do this in a paint program, and save your file as a GIF or
PNG file with a transparent background.

I would scan in a copy of your presentation and save it as a png file. You
can then either use an imaging program to change the white background to
transparent (permanent change to file), or use PPT's transparency tool to
change the color white to transparent (only for that picture in that
presentation). The transparency tool is on the picture toolbar and looks
like a blue and white pencil with a black arrow at its end.

"I would scan in a copy of your presentation" should have been "I would scan
in a copy of your signature"... Sorry about the confusion...

What the others said. (Or said then corrected <g>)

But also, there used to be companies that'd turn your signature into a special
font. You'd format the text in that font, enter whichever character was mapped
to your sig and away you'd go.

And there still are. Google "signature font" for zillions of possibilities.

At ten bucks a signature, how could you go wrong:
