You Made a MS WORD Sig!
When you make a sig like this it's recomended to put more then just text background and a render, try adding more things like shades to the render and glows. more on these commands can be found at the next section of the guide.

Notes:
1. This guide was reposted since it was accidently autopurged
2. Although many people doubt the neccesity of this guide - MS Word has a huge potetial and for people who can't download stuff it's really good. A proof that MS Word does worth something (a sig that is 100% done in word with no renders or stock) Ultimate proof - Best MS Word Sig

Thanks for reposting, LIMN. Great share. I love the signature noted at the end, better than some people might be able to do with Photoshop (not pointing out anyone here).

That's a nice guide!



jamboza -> RE: Tutorial for MS Word - Sig Making (9/10/2007 6:58:07)

If you'll tell me in what step was the problem i'll help you solve it. it worked on my brother's PC and he had 2003 so it should also work on yours.

Thanks Fartix



Forever1712 -> RE: Tutorial for MS Word - Sig Making (11/11/2007 14:09:26)

Ok.I went to the MicroSoft Office Word,and I clicked Tools like you said to.And then I looked until I found Options.But Options wasn't clickable.



Forever1712 -> RE: Tutorial for MS Word - Sig Making (11/11/2007 17:44:10)

Lightning,I don't have the pixel thing to check off.



LightningIsMyName -> RE: Tutorial for MS Word - Sig Making (11/14/2007 12:56:43)

OK, try this:

enter MS Paint and create a new image
enter the attributes window (Ctrl + E) and change the unit to pixels. enter the size you want for your work (probably 100 on 500)
Fill your image with green.

save your picture somewhre with as "Size1.png".
Enter MS Word and add this picture in. resize your work to be exactly that size and you are done[;)]
