EMBEDDING AN OBJECT/GRAPHIC IN WORD 2003

I want to send out resumes with my scanned signature. How can I insert the signature so that the recipient is unable to copy it?

If you have Acrobat, convert the document to PDF and disallow copying. As
long as it's a Word document, there is no way to prevent copying anything.

Hi Cathe,

While Jay is right regarding Adobe, do not forget that all I have to do is:
Zoom in on your signature at 500% to get it nice and clear;
"PrintScreen";
Paste it in PhotoShop;
Enhance it;
Save it;
And I have your signature.

As soon as someone can see it on the screen, forget it, they can grab it.

I do not understand why people are so worried about recipients "copying"
their signatures... If you sent your resume by snail mal, all I would have
to do is photocopy it or scan it, and I would have you signature... Sending
by mail or in digital form makes no difference...

Cheers!
