Digital signing prerequisites

Created attachment 86354 [details] SCREENSHOT OF THE DIGITAL SIGNING WINDOW DIALOG Create a new document. Save your doc in /Document folder. Choose file > digital signing... A window dialog appears to ask you for saving your doc in /Documents. MAC OS X 10.13 (HIGH SIERRA) OPEN OFFICE 4.1.5
OK, you can use digital signing with ODF file formats. But what is the problem? Your description is not detailed enough to show the problem. PS: Please be carefully with your [Shift] or [Capslock] key as it is understood as shouting on others.
Hi, I can't digitally signing my document because that window dialog appears each time I try it in spite of storing it in /Documents folder.
You are trying to digitally sign a document in Microsoft Word .doc format and the message is telling you it must be saved in Open Document format before it can be signed. I suspect this is because the methodology used by OpenOffice is not compatible with non-Open Document formats. This needs to be verified by some one familiar with the code. If the above is true than the help files need to be updated to explicitly reflect the fact that Open Document Formats must be used.
Hi, Oh, my God! How didn't I realize of the message!!!! :( I am stubborn in think that the message was telling to me that I should store the document in /Documents folder when really it told me that I should save it in ODF file format. I didn't understand why this program didn't allow me to execute this action. I understand it now! My sincere apologies to Marcus (for striving him) and the rest of member of this community for not to understand very good the message. I am not sure why I was insisting on that the message was telling me another thing what I understood. :/ The only excuse I was under a stress due to the urgent need to have the process. Thanks for your clarification, @Keith! Closing this issue. :)
