thanks for the pioneering effort. Perhaps you might want to make it easy
for the next person by clearly explaining the entire process right from
creating the certificate, then importing it into firefox, exporting it
and then signing a document with oowriter/etc.

Sure thing. I will do it in the course of tomorrow.
One little problem I noticed is that when I just converted my signed document.odt to a MSWord.doc, the document converted just fine, but booting into vmware with WinXP and OfficeXP running, I could open the document, but was not able to detect any signature. Admittedly, I don't know MSOffice very well.
The reason I wanted to sign a document so badly is that I wanted to submit an assignment and 'sign' my work, but I know that the university only accepts one specific closed format. Bummer.
Sending the document as a open document text file (odt), I would presume that the signature wouldbe intact. I know I can see it, and would hope it is visible to others not using my computer.
