Sign Office documents (with a certificate) by code

Is there any way to sign digitally an office document (Word, Excel, ...)? I've found how to sign PDF and XMLs documents, but I don't find anything about sign Word documents.

Thanks ;)

As far as I know Office uses XML Digital signature.

I've managed to implement reading/verifying of digital signatures of OpenOffice documents (which also use XML digital signature) by reading up on this:

http://www.w3.org/Signature

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/08/08/xmldsig.html

http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/dig_signatures
