Just a little macro to help me dominate the world!

I have written a template with a macro for Word, which I would like to share with a bunch of other people. But I don't have a digital signature and I'm wondering if there's an easy or free way to get one, or a workaround?
This macro will be used by designers who typically despise MS Office. The macro on has it's own toolbar & button and to try to send people through the steps needed to duplicate it on their machines would take forever. I'm aware of the selfcert.exe program and apparently each machine would need the certificate installed on it. I don't know how that gets done.
Has anyone gone through the process of getting a digital signature or used selfcert to create a signature, for a Word template that they will distribute to a number of other people? Many work at home, so there's no way I'm going around doing the installs for them!
This is for Word 2003 and beyond, it'll be used on both PC and Mac computers.

Response by poster: I saw that, and when I read:
"You'll want to do this procedure yourself (rather than having users do it) to make sure it's done right."
I became a little nervous about it. But then it appears you just click ok a few times, so maybe the authors are being overly cautious with that warning?

Dunno, doesn't seem to me particularly evasive to try this out a couple of times locally? More info?
