Sign a Word Document

How to Sign a Word Document Online

Growing usage of electronic signatures or eSignatures signifies a shift toward a paperless environment in line with the rapid digital transformation tsunami. It also makes sense as people are short of time and electronic signatures are fast, convenient, and simple to use for documents like forms, sales contracts, agreements, or any legal business.

Most businesses use Microsoft Word for everything – be it employee agreements, onboarding, purchase orders, or contracts. And preparing a contract or agreement form in Word to get it signed electronically is an easy process.

RApp, a plug & play eSignature desktop application helps you do that. It enables the users of RSign, a global eSignature solution from RPost, to send forms and documents for eSignature with a few simple clicks directly from their Windows desktop, Microsoft Office applications, (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) as well as any desktop or web application that connects to a printer. Here’s how to do it.

Additional RSign Features for Online Electronic Signatures

The RSign interface offers several features to make your electronic signature document preparation and signing process seamless.

• You can specify the order in which you want the recipients to sign forms if there are multiple recipients. RSign’s sequential signing feature helps with that.
• You can also convert your existing agreement into a template so you don’t have to go through the same process of creating the complete document with all the signature controls every time you send the agreement for signing. Next time when you’re sending for eSign, just select the template from the RSign interface, modify a few details, and send!.
• You can send the agreements to sign in bulk to hundreds of recipients at one go through RSign’s “Bulk Send” feature, which saves a lot of time.

RSign also enables you to get signed PDFs. You can open the existing PDF file of your contract in RSign, configure, and send it to the recipients to sign documents online. The entire process remains the same as for the Word doc with a guided, eSign experience. Plus, the process itself is automated. You don’t have to follow up with any of your recipients for signatures, saving you significantly in time and costs.

Audit Trails and Compliance

RSign guarantees compliance with GDPR and HIPAA and provide you with many privacy options to protect sensitive data. It’s compliant with data privacy and other regulatory guidelines ( ESIGN Act, UETA, eIDAS, ECTA).

Plus, all parties receive Legal Proof® records and forensic audit trail of every e-sign and UETA-compliant transaction for an atomic timestamp of signer IP addresses, date and time of delivery, and exact message content.
