To add a signature line in Excel on a PC, follow these steps:
- Open your Excel spreadsheet: Begin by opening the Excel file where you want to add the signature.
- Navigate to the Insert Tab: Click on the "Insert" tab located in the Excel ribbon at the top of the screen.
- Add Signature Line: Within the "Insert" tab, locate the "Text" group. Here, you will find the "Signature Line" option. Click on the "Signature Line" dropdown and select "Microsoft Office Signature Line."
- Specify Signer Details: The "Signature Setup" dialog box will appear. In this dialog box, you can enter the following information:
- Suggested Signer: Enter the full name of the person who will be signing.
- Suggested Signer's Title: Enter the job title or role of the signer. For example, "Manager" or "CEO."
- Suggested Signer's E-mail address: Optionally, add the email address of the person that will sign.
- Instructions to Signer: Optionally, add instructions to the signer. For example, "Please sign to approve the document"
- Click "OK": Once you've filled out the required information, click "OK". This will insert a signature line where your cursor was positioned in the spreadsheet.
Once you insert a signature line, a user can either:
- Digitally sign it: If you have a digital certificate, you can digitally sign the document, and the signature is validated.
- Physically sign it: You can print the document and physically sign it on the signature line.
