I have also recommended having the traditional signatures set up ready to go. By traditional, I mean the Signature style in the right side style pallet that automatically throws the signature to 3.0 on the ruler as well as having signature blocks waiting in tables for those scenarios where you have two columns of signatures.
What if you do not have signature blocks ready to go as a Macro but nevertheless have to get two column signature blocks together quickly?
1. What I am going to show you will speed up the process. ..
2. You have the need to do signatures in tables. Two columns
By: Tab ______________ Soft return
Name: soft return
Title: Hard Return
3. As soon as you have one good signature in place that looks great, you then copy that signature to all the other cells in the table that need a signature.
4. The problem occurs with signatures in tables when instead of a Hard Return at the end of the word Title, you have a "Table" return instead. In this scenario, each time you try to copy a completed signature to another cell, your signature will collapse. The "table return" cannot hold formatting information but the Paragraph return does.
5. In order to copy a completed signature from one cell to another smoothly (meaning it stays intact), remember that only the hard return holds instruction regarding formatting and table cell symbols do not. So, when highlighting the signature to be copied, just remember to always "include" the hard return after the word "Title" when copying a signature and you will be done quickly. After the completion of your first signature within a two column table, you will be able to copy it and paste it again and again in order to create a quick duel column signature block.
Try it out when you can. Remember, when you need to tab within a table cell you use Control Tab. Using just the tab key alone, will hop the cursor from cell to cell.
