So, there is no way to create my own certificate, backed by no one, so that for my office workers they can see that it is me and not worry about a "Reliable Certificate?"
You can "self-sign", but my understanding is that the security (at least on XP) may not accept it if their security is set to High. The help file seems to say it is a corporate setting.
There is a whole topic in the Excel help which explains this. Let me see if I can find it.
Yes - search for "Digital Signature" in help, then look at the topic for "Add a Digital Signature for a file or macro project" Here is the relevant part:
Because a digital certificate you create yourself isn't issued by a formal certification authority, macro projects signed by using such a certificate are referred to as self-signed projects. Depending on how Microsoft Office digital-signature features are being used in your organization, you might be prevented from using such a certificate, and other users might not be able to run self-signed macros for security reasons.
