Document Variable Question

[Montana DOJ Help Desk]

Word 2000

I'm working on some macros that use document variables. I wrote one test
macro that shows me the name and value of each document variable. When I
run this test macro, I see the following document variable information:

Name =Sign
Value = ?

My code does not create this document variable (I searched my code for
"Sign" and that string does not appear anywhere in any of my code modules).
If I delete this document variable (using a test routine I wrote for that
purpose), it gets recreated. So I assume that Word is creating this
document variable. Out of curiosity, can anyone tell me why?

If you have a digital signature for your code, the signature is placed in
the document variable called Sign.
