Sign a Word Document on the Surface Pro 4

There is a better way…

How many times has someone in your office printed out a document and signed their name on it only to scan it back into a digital format to email? There is now a more time efficient way to share a signed Word document.

With Surface, it’s now simpler than ever. In a few easy steps you can save time and get more productive. Save the two trips to the printer.

Follow these simply steps:

  1. Open your Word Document
  2. Go to the ‘Draw’ menu

You’ll find this menu on the top title ribbon.

  1. Select the colour and thickness of your pen

You can select one of the default pens. Or, customise your own pen using the drop down menus ‘Colour’ and ‘Thickness’ to the right of the default options.

  1. Sign your Word document with the Surface Pen

Sign your name anywhere on the document, just as you would with pen and paper.

  1. Click ‘File’
  2. Select ‘Share’
  3. Click ‘Email’
  4. Click on the third option down ‘Send as PDF’

And there you have it, your word document is automatically converted into a PDF attachment and dropped into an email ready to send. Simply add your recipient, subject line and email body and hit send.

Especially noteworthy when signing Word documents with Surface is that you have the flexibility to work from anywhere. There is no need to email back and forth, or wait for your boss to get back to the office to sign an urgent document. Now, it can all be done on one device, from anywhere. Tell us that’s not convenient.
