Import Word Documents for Electronic Signature

Before uploading a Word file to your airSlate SignNow account, consider including field-generating text tags in it. Once you upload the document, these tags will automatically turn into fillable fields.

Alternatively, upload a Word document as it is and then add fillable fields by using the airSlate SignNow click-and-drop editor.

Add text tags to your document

Open a Word document in any text editor and insert the following text tags where you want fillable fields to appear.

• Text field

  {{ t:t;r:y;o:"Signer 1";l:"Text"; }}

  In this tag, “Signer 1” describes the signer role, and “Text” is the field label. You can set these values according to your needs.

  Example: {{ t:t;r:y;o:"Client";l:"Name"; }}

• Signature field

  {{ t:s;r:y;o:"Signer 1";w:100;h:15; }}

  “Signer 1” stands for the signer role. This value can be changed. The field label is “Signature Field” by default. You can adjust the field size by changing the values “w:100” (width) and “h:15” (height).

Upload a document to airSlate SignNow

Click Upload Documents and browse for the Word file you just edited. Once uploaded, open the document in the airSlate SignNow editor.

Find fillable fields in the document

After opening the document in airSlate SignNow, you will see that the text tags you just added have now become fillable fields.

You can now save and close the document or send it for signing. Or you can continue adding fields by selecting items from the toolbar on the left and then clicking on the document where you need to place a field.
