    When applying multiple electronic signatures to .docx Word (2010) documents, some show as "recoverable" signatures. When this occurs clicking "Click here to trust this users identity" changes the signature from recoverable to valid. However, just began experiencing a problem in some documents when clicking the same link to trust the users identity no response occurs (the link does not work or do anything). Viewing the certificate show the certificate has usually expired.  Is there a way to fix this without having the signer re-sign the document?

    Hi,

    When we click the "Click here to trust this users identity" link, it will add the signatures to the trusted list. Since it doesn't work, we can try to use the MMC console and manually import the digital certificates into the trusted list. For more detailed steps, you can refer to this:

    Please let me know the result.

    Hi Steve,

    I'm getting there, having a little trouble finding where the self generated certificates are stored on the user's pc so I can export/import them. Do you know if there is a default file location where these are stored? As a workaround I'm going to try and export the certificate on my computer for that particular user and import it on the computer which is having problems recognizing it.

    Thanks for the support.

    Thank you for the update. You can check this path:

    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SystemCertificates

    BTW, does the workaround do the trick? Please let me know the result.

    That was it! For some reason this guy was looking at an older document which had an expired certificate, so wouldn't let him trust it. I was able to find the old certificate, import in the problem computer and it worked great.

    Thank you very much for your help.
