No one should print out a letter to sign it unless it's absolutely necessary. For example, if you plan to send a letter to someone by email then you should have your signature already included in your form letter. That way you can create a PDF and email it without ever printing it out. Even if you do print out letters, having your signature scanned in and loaded into your standard form of letter can save lots of time. Here's a good article on how to scan in your signature.

I started doing this a few months back with Adobe 8. It definitely reduces the handling necessary to get a letter out, even if printed. Haven't taken the time to try it straight from Word 2007 yet. Getting master forms set up (including a master letter with signature inserted) is definitely on my list of things to do. Great suggestion!
