certificate ending layout

Question

How can I achive the above layout in latex? Place and Name should be on the same horizontal line, and so as Date and En.No.. Signature, Name and En.No should come on a same vertical line.

Answer 1

Here's a simple way to do this without using the tabular environment.

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand\certificateending[4]{%
        \par
        \noindent
        \hskip.5\linewidth
        \hbox{\textbf{Signature of the Scholar}}\\
        \hbox to.5\linewidth{\textbf{Place:} #1\hfil}%
        \hbox{\textbf{Name: #2}}\\
        \hbox to.5\linewidth{\textbf{Date:} #3\hfil}%
        \hbox{\textbf{En.\ No: #4}}%
        \par
}
\begin{document}
\certificateending{Some Place}{John Doe}{11 December 2010}{56784332}
\end{document}

However, I don't think I'd make "John Doe" and "56784332" bold.

Answer 2

Just an addendum to the answers posted. Here is a small macro that provides a line for a signature which comes handy in similar applications.

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\def\sig#1#2{\vbox{\hsize=5.5cm
    \kern2cm\hrule\kern1ex
    \hbox to \hsize{\strut\hfil #1 \hfil}
    \hbox to \hsize{\strut\hfil #2 \hfil}}}

\begin{document}

\sig{John Doe}{En. No: 56784332}

\end{document}
