computer accessory help
 

There must be a device as follows: I have to e-mail
papers but they must have my signature on them. I
tried using the paint program w/o success. Is there a pen
type device that plugs into a usb whereby I can sign a word document or spreadsheet? Whats it called?
Thanks,
Fred

Yes, there are such things. I don't know the name of exactly what you want but search for "pen tablets". I'm more familiar with the larger mousepad sized ones but I have seen ones that are specifically for signatures.

Something like this:

Perhaps you can scan your signature and drop it into the document as a graphic image.

Or you could get a cheap scanner and scan in your signed page(s).

Get the Wacom tablet. it's on sale at bestbuy. I have one it is great. get the small one and it comes with a pen & mouse. i use it also for photoshop.
