hello Laura leader here with law office solution in this tutorial I'm going to show you how you can take an image of your signature and save it as an auto text in Microsoft Word so that you can just pop it into any document anytime and drag it around do whatever you want with it so the first thing you need is an image of your signature and you're going to want a transparent background I have a separate video on how to do that and I'll link to that in the description of this video so that you don't know how to get the image you can watch that one but for right now we have the image and I know where it is I saved it on my computer and in File Explorer I know where it is it's kind of important when you go to get it to know where the file is so I'm in Microsoft Word and this happens to be word 2016 but what I'm going to show you will work for well for Word 2007 on you can do this so first I need to insert my image so I go to insert ribbon and go to picture it is a picture of my image of my signature I should say and then I could double click that or see if I can drag this so you can see see the insert button it doesn't want to stay I'll just double click that pops it in now I've got two things I want to do to this image of my signature before I save it as the auto text entry the first is I want to change the way the text wraps so that this can just go over things right now so you have a line in my document I can't just drag this over it it came in as what's called inline with text which means it's like a piece of text if I'm typing it pushes it if I press ENTER it moves down it is with the text I want to be more like a picture that I can just drag around and in the case of my signature I don't want text to wrap around it I want text to go right behind it so if I have a line like this I can put it right over the line so I'm going to click the signature and on the format ribbon which appears when I click it I can go to format wrap text and tell it in front of text I want it in front of text some people will do an image with a white background instead of transparent and put that behind the text it's easier to create that kind of image but if you do that it's a lot harder once the image is in word to grab it and move it because it's behind everything and word will keep thinking you're...
