If you have followed the previous suggestions, you should have a piece of paper in front of you that has the basic layout of how your iSignature is going to look.
We now need to get that into a format that will display exactly what you want.
Open your favourite word processor (we’ll assume MS Word for the moment) and start with an empty page. Now enter the various items from your sheet of paper. The instructions are given for each heading but, of course, just skip any that you are not using.
