Just to share what I have discovered:

This feature is also available in Word 2003: Tools -> Options -> Security -> Digital Signatures.

However, 2003 signatures do not allow you to enter a “purpose” for the signature.

Further, a document signed in Word 2003 can be further signed in Word 2007 with no problems when read again in Word 2003 (i.e, both signatures are signed 2003-style).

However, if a document is initially signed in Word 2007, the signature cannot be seen in 2003 (because it is signed 2007-style).

I’m experimenting with digital signatures, but they’re only useful for my purposes if I can format the text that appears below the signature line – that is, the signer’s name/title. I need to include the title “CFP®”, but the ® needs to be in superscript. Is this possible? If so, how’s it done?

After hitting sign in the second last screenshot, I received a Smart Card error “Your signature could not be added to the document. If your signature requires a smart card, ensure that your card reader is installed correctly”. How do I know if I need a smart card or no?

I followed the above steps and got a “Smart Card” error. After hitting “Sign” in the second last screenshot, I got a smart card error “Your signature could not be added to the document. If your signature requires a smart card, ensure that your card reader is installed correctly”. How do I know if my signature requires a smart card or no?
Thanks!
