Add signed proposal

Hey everyone, Kevin here.  Today I want to show you how   you can create an electronic signature  directly within Microsoft Word. I'll show you a few different  techniques for creating your signature. They have different quality levels, and you  could decide which one you think looks the best. Once we create our signature, I'll also show you   a few ways that you can very quickly  and easily then reuse your signature. One of them is by saving it as  a transparent PNG, and then I'll   also show you how we could use something  called quick parts within Microsoft Word. One thing to call out before we jump  into this, today we're creating an   electronic signature. That's basically  an image of your handwritten signature,   and that differs from a digital signature, which  is a certificate that validates your identity. That's out of the scope today. All right, let's jump on the PC and  let's create an electronic signature. Here I am in Microsoft Word, and I  have a contract that I need to sign. The Kevin Cookie Company wants to pay me money for  using my image in marketing campaigns, so why not? It's basically free money for me. Down below, here I see these signature  field, and right now it's pretty lonely. There's no signature here. Now in the introduction, I mentioned that we can  create a signature directly within Microsoft Word. We don't have to print it out,  sign it, and scan it back in. That's the old-fashioned way of doing it. Let's do it the modern way. Here within  Microsoft Word, we can draw our signature. So, let's just go right up to the top where you  have all these different tabs and then select   draw, and there is no draw  option here, but don't worry,   we can very easily get a draw option  to appear up here on the top tabs. Simply take your mouse. You could be in any tab here and  then right click on the ribbon,   and right within this menu, there's  the option to customize the ribbon. Let's click on this. This opens up Word  options and we can customize what all   shows up on the ribbon, and right  here, there's an option to select   draw, so this will add a new tab to the ribbon. Once you check that box, next  click on OK, and look at that. There's now a new tab up on top called draw. Let's click into this to see what we can do.   Within the draw tab, I have access to several  different drawing and annotation tools. Now I'm signing a pretty formal  and high dollar value contract,   so I probably don't want to mess around. I should just go with the black pen right here.   When I click on the black pen, here I  see this downward facing carat icon. When I click on this, this exposes more controls. Here I can set the thickness of my pen and I can  also choose from all of...
