If the Signature Line option is greyed out in Excel or Word on your desktop, remove editing restrictions or add a signature line manually.

You no longer want to sign your Word documents by hand, but want to insert an electronic signature into the document quickly and easily. This is how it works.

Double-click the signature line with the red text ‘Recoverable Signature’. In the Signature Details dialogue, click the link that reads ‘Click here to trust this user’s identity ‘.
