I have Microsoft Office for Mac.

I read online that signing an electronic document created with Word on a Mac computer is possible.

The instructions state to click on "INSERT" on the top menu bar and select the item "Signature Line" from the dropdown menu.

Unluckily, when I click on INSERT the dropdown menu does NOT contain the "Signature Line" item.

Has anyone succeeded in inserting your electronic signature on a Word document?

    To electronically sign a Word document on a Mac, you typically need to use the "Signature Line" feature. However, if you do not see the "Signature Line" option under the "INSERT" menu, it could be due to a couple of reasons:

    1. Version Compatibility: Ensure that you are using a version of Microsoft Word that supports electronic signatures. Not all versions may have this feature available.
    2. Alternative Methods: If the "Signature Line" option is not available, you can consider using other methods to insert your signature, such as:
      • Drawing your signature using the drawing tools available in Word.
      • Inserting an image of your signature if you have one saved.

    Unfortunately, the specific steps for inserting a signature line are not detailed in the provided context, but these alternatives may help you achieve your goal.
