The following instructions address issues related to using
Signatures in Microsoft Excel worksheets.
- If the recipients don't have your handwriting font installed on their machines, their computers will substitute a standard system font (such as Arial) for the incoming handwritten text. Since the signature parts and inner-word letters in your vLetter handwriting are located in the upper ASCII table (where the "Greek" symbols are kept in standard computer fonts), they see "Greek" symbols in lieu of your signature or handwriting.
- You need to insert your signature as an image in the Excel file so the recipient can still see it. Follow the instructions below to make an image and insert it into Excel.
- You can also set Protection on the Excel file to prevent the signature
from being copied — refer to the Help menu in Excel.
1. Open the vLetterWriter from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.

4. Click the "Click Here To VIEW THIS TEXT AS HANDWRITING" button or click in the vLetterWriter's main
window. If the signature that appears is not yours, choose the correct handwriting from the Handwriting menu.
5. In the Stationery menu, choose "No Graphics."
6. In the Colors menu, choose "White" as the Background Color and your favorite ink color as the Text Color.
7. Resize the vLetterWriter window around your signature.
8. In the eMail menu, choose "Convert this vLetter to an eMail attachment." Name the vLetter when prompted (e.g.
"Mysig"); it will be put onto your desktop as a GIF image.
