Default Digitally Sign a Code Module

Word 2007

I would like to add a digital signature to a code module. When I got to
Tools Digital Signature Choose, I don't have any certificates to select.
I do have a certificate that would be appropriate for this function. Does
it need to be in a specific certificate store?

Thanks for any help that you can offer!

I don't know whether this is the way it's supposed to be, but the
certificates that appear in that dialog for me (mostly my SelfCerts)
are in the Personal certificate store.

One place to ask, if you can, is the source of your certificate; each
supplier seems to have a slightly different installation routine.

The other place you could ask is in the newsgroup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security.

Certificate are necessary for a digital signature, and digital certificate should be verified by the Microsoft or other provider, you can also assign your own certificate, but they will not be regarded as the authentic, a public key is issued by Microsoft for every digital certificate and without that key it is not validated.
