Electronic signatures for word documents to the rescue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Electronic signatures or e-Signatures are legally recognized signatures<\/a> that can be used to sign or digitally authenticate electronic documents. They perform the same function as a wet, ink-based signature, albeit more efficiently. They’re significantly more convenient than traditional signatures since they allow recipients to review and sign documents from anywhere in the world using a computer or smartphone. Once all parties have signed, the sender need not wait for mails or physical copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of using electronic signature in Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before guiding you through the process of electronically signing word documents, let\u2019s quickly look at some of the benefits of electronic signature in word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saves money and time<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rather than arranging a business meeting for in-person document signings or back-and-forth email\/postal deliveries, you can share an electronic link to sign off various business documents. It not only saves time but reduces operational costs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improves productivity<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As you start saving time with e-signatures, you can accelerate business processes,<\/a> fasten decision implementation, and free up your resources to work on other important tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More secure and risk-free <\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

An electronic signature system keeps your Microsoft Word doc secure from any kind of tampering\/forging since any alteration made in the signed document will be detected. Additionally, there is no more worry about theft, physical damage, or misplacing of your documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easier and eco-friendly <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Enabling e-signature for document formats means no more printouts, scans, and photocopies. They can be accessed from anywhere, anytime from your desktop, laptop, or mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revv offers a quick and user-friendly eSignature platform for MS Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Adding the e-signature block<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
