In this article I would like to tell you how to install CryptoPro Office Signature and start using it: sign documents and check the electronic signature.

Let's start with what you need to get started:

1. Installed and configured CryptoPro CSP (I wrote about how to install CryptoPro CSP in this article)
2. Acquired CryptoPro Office Signature license
3. Installed by Microsoft Office (at least MS Word or MS Excel)

I also recommend checking the Office Signature compatibility table (on the product page) with Microsoft Office versions. I have Office 2013 installed, so all screenshots will be relevant for this particular Word versions. If you have a different version of Office, then your procedure may be slightly different.

So, if you have all of the above ready, then let's get started.

On this screen, enter license key that you received from us e-mail after the purchase CryptoPro Office Signature.

Step 2. We sign the document

After the installation is completed, we launch Word: you can either create a new document and save it, or open an already saved document. Remember that only a saved document can be signed, and once signed, it cannot be edited.

To sign the document, click on the button File

In the window that appears, you can fill in the fields Confirmation type And Purpose of signing, but this is optional. It is important to pay attention to the points Certificate Subject And Issued by. There must be exactly the electronic signature certificate with which you want to sign the document. If the wrong certificate is selected there, then click on the button Change- there will be an opportunity to choose the right one.

Remember that only certificates installed on the system are displayed here. If nothing is displayed here, then you need to install your certificate into the system.

In the next step, you may be asked for a pin code for your token. Enter it. If you do not know the pin code for your token, then try one of the standard ones that are given in this article.

Everything, the document is signed.

Step 3. Signature Verification

Verifying a signature is very easy. It is enough to open the signed document and pay attention to the status line at the bottom of the window.

There must be a specific character. In earlier office versions it looks like this:

This symbol means that the document is signed. To find out who signed the document, you need to click on it. The following window will open:

That's all. Happy signing!
