I have put my signature into documents by putting the signature onto a piece of paper, scanning and saving to my documents, then when I need to put it into a document, I just copy & paste!

Have done this on several occasions, the last one being on a document to the FOS.

Are we talking about a digital signature here? Or a picture of your signature in Office?

That is what I do as per my post above using Word, can't see it any different using Office!

Have just done it in Office, without any probs!

You've opened the image haven't you? You don't need to do that - close whatever image editor you're using, open your document in OpenOffice.org and go to Insert→Picture→From file instead.
