Google Docs is a free online collaboration tool that is fully compatible with Microsoft Word and is part of Google’s online office suite – the G Suite. Users can create, view, and edit documents online while working on a real-time collaboration with colleagues – from any device, anywhere. The first step to using Google Docs is to create a Gmail account.<\/span><\/p>\n But apart from its interactive nature and accessibility, you can also quickly sign important documents right in Google Docs. In fact, it takes less than 5 minutes to add your electronic signature to a Google Doc contract, offer letter, or nondisclosure agreement. And, if your organization already makes use of Google Apps, using electronic signatures will be much simpler for you.<\/span><\/p>\n Check out this easy guide on how to insert an electronic signature in Google Docs in just a few steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It can be tedious to keep track of all the waivers, contracts, and other documents that you need to digitally sign or sign by hand. With Google Docs’s electronic signature feature, you can conveniently sign documents at home, at work, or even while traveling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Google Docs has a built-in feature that allows you to insert a signature in your document, and even enables you to download an already signed document.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s how to electronically sign a document in Google Docs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, if you already have a photo of your signature, you can also add a signature to a Google Doc with the built-in drawing tool. Here’s how you insert it in the Google Doc:<\/span><\/p>\n Step 1: <\/b>Go to the Google Doc where you want to add signatures.<\/span><\/p>\n Step 2:<\/b> Click on “Insert” and select “Image.”<\/span><\/p>\n Your image should appear in the document editor as an image box (with blue handles around each corner).<\/span><\/p>\n Step 3:<\/b> Click on one of the corners with blue handles, then drag it down until it covers the entire page (or close to it). This will resize the image so that it fits inside the frame perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n Step 4:<\/b> Click on the “File” menu and select “Save As…”<\/span><\/p>\n There are several ways you can edit the signature if you aren’t happy with how it turned out or if there is something else that needs to be corrected. You’ll see two edit menus in the document when you choose the signature to reveal the blue text box. One is on the bottom left of the text box, and the other is on the right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Don’t forget to keep these details in mind:<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, use the Position option to fix your signature in place within a document or have it move along with the text as if it were part of it. Or, choose from other options like centering vertically between lines of text and ensuring that when a page breaks into two separate paragraphs simultaneously, they’re both equally sized horizontally. By doing so, every line has enough space for everything needed to be seen without having to scroll more than once.<\/span><\/p>\n Your signature need not appear at the bottom of a page every time. The good thing is, with Google Doc, your signature can appear anywhere inside your document, whether in the middle or the end of the page.<\/span><\/p>\n So if you’ve ever wanted to move your signature inside a document, here’s how!<\/span><\/p>\n Once you’ve finished typing, press Enter twice (once after each line) or click outside of both lines with your mouse pointer so that they disappear from view. Now place your cursor inside where these lines used to be, click once with your left mouse button (without dragging), and drag over until you see an arrow pointing down with a dashed line behind it; release when this happens, and all should be well!<\/span><\/p>\n You can also try these quick moves:<\/span><\/p>\n Tip:<\/i><\/b> You can move your signature inside a document by pressing the Backspace key while placing your cursor right next to the signature box.<\/span><\/p>\n Third-party programs make it easy to insert a signature into Google Docs. There are\u00a0 two add ons menu that enable you to incorporate electronic signatures into Google Docs – DocuSign and PandaDoc. But first, you must upload the google docs add-on programs to your Google Drive before you’ll be able to use them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To upload the program, go to your drive and select “Add New” under “Create.” Then, select “DocuSign” or “PandaDoc” from the drop-down menu on the right side of your screen. This will open up a new window where you can upload the file. Once it’s uploaded, you will see a button that says “Save” at the top right-hand corner of your screen. Clicking this button will save your digital signatures into your document.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With DocuSign, you’ll be up and running in minutes, and here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n Similarly, Panda Doc also lets you insert a signature into Google Docs, which is one of the easiest ways to do so. Here’s how you do it:<\/span><\/p>\n Google Docs is an excellent resource for anyone who needs to create documents from scratch because it is easily accessible from any device. Using a smartphone, users can also add an actual handwritten signature to any document, which is now converted into an electronic signature. With a little effort, you can create your signature on emails or for any other purpose you would use a signature for. By doing this, you can save yourself the time of typing out your signature every time you need to sign an email or document.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Google Docs is a free online collaboration tool that is fully compatible with Microsoft Word and is part of Google’s online office suite – the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":16668,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-esign"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n2 ways to insert a signature in Google Docs<\/strong><\/h2>\n
