View Digital Signatures in Word Documents

This section provides a tutorial example on how to view digital signatures in MS Word documents. Clicking the digital signature icon in the status bar turns on and off the Signatures panel when editing Word documents.

Once John added his digital signature, the document becomes final. Modification is not allowed any more.

If John clicks "File > Info > View Signatures", the "Signatures" panel shows up on MS Word window. John's signature is listed in the panel as a valid signature.

Right-mouse click on the signature, two action options shows up: "Signature Details" and "Remove Signature":

The "Signature Details" option allows John to see more details about the signature.

The "Remove Signature" option allows John to remove his signature.
