Of course my method can be used just as easily...  Scan in the signature, then 
convert it to a simple black and white bitmap.  Any time the signature is 
needed, just paste the bitmap into the document.  The only time I ever need it 
is to sign papers that are faxed to me, so instead of printing them out, 
filling them out and signing them, then refaxing them, all I do is load the 
B/W bitmap into Corel PhotoPaint, type the information in (my handwriting is 
pretty bad too :)  then paste in my bitmap signature and resize it.  Simple, 
effective, and FREE!!  Gotta love it!
