According to MS Office Help the procedure is quite simple:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and click the Security tab.
2. Click Digital signatures.
3. Click Add.
4. Select the certificate you want to add, and then click OK.
The problem here is that you have to set up a lot of other things. First
of all you must have ability to sign documents and the recipients must
have ability to verify them.
Electronic signatures in Word are implemented using digital signature
and therefore you need certificates to verify them. If you don't have
appropriate PKI with sufficient policies available this is going to be a
problem.
If you don't have experience with PKI this is going to be a hard job
however a good start is to read some books. I'd recommend:
- Brian Komar - Windows Server 2003 PKI and Certificate Security
If you are already experienced in PKI and you are interested in EU
Qualified electronic signatures very good start is
- QuEST – Qualified Electronic Signatures Tutorial, you can find it
