+  <title>Add a user ID to an existing key</title>
+
+  <p>A key can have multiple user IDs. This is helpful when you want to
+  communicate with several people and one of them does not recognize, say, the
+  email address in your user ID. This person may not want to import your
+  <em>Public key</em> since it contains information that they do not know. In
+  such scenarios, if you do not want to create a new key or edit the existing
+  user ID, you can attach a new user ID to your key. This also saves you the
+  trouble of managing a lot of keys and remembering different passphrases.</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <title>To add an extra user ID:</title>
+      <item>
+        <p>Select the <em>PGP key</em> of your choice from the list.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>Right click on the key and choose
+        <guiseq><gui>Properties</gui>
+        <gui>Names and Signatures</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>Click the <gui style="button">Add Name</gui> button to add a new
+        user ID.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>In the new dialog that opens up, fill the correct details for
+        the new user ID, like <gui>Full Name</gui>, <gui>Email Address</gui>
+        and <gui>Key Comment</gui>.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>You will be asked to enter the passphrase you used while creating
+        the key. Enter the correct passphrase and click
+        <gui style="button">OK</gui> to finish.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>Your new user ID will now be listed under <gui>Names and
+        Signatures</gui>.</p>
+      </item>
+  </steps>
