Routing documents

Routing a document allows you to send a document for an online review to several reviewers in a specified order. In this routing process, the document is sent to one reviewer at a time, so that each reviewer sees the changes made by each of the previous reviewers. When you route a document, it is inserted in an e-mail as an attachment. You must have an e-mail client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook, installed on your computer for this option to work. For more information about using Microsoft Outlook as your default address book, see “Choosing an address book for WordPerfect.”

To route a document, you must create a routing slip. The routing slip allows you to specify the recipients of the document and the order in which they will receive the document.

A reviewer who receives a routed document can make changes and revisions to the document. The reviewer can then save the changes, close the document, and send it to the next reviewer listed on the routing slip. Alternatively, a reviewer can wait before sending the document to the next reviewer or can reassign a routed document to another reviewer listed on the routing slip.

When you create the first routing slip for a document, the e-mail address specified in the environment settings or in Outlook automatically appears in the Author’s e-mail address text box. If you insert a different e-mail address in the box, the new e-mail address becomes the default address the next time you create a routing slip for the same document. If you enable the Store as default address check box, this e-mail address appears every time you create a routing slip.
