How do I enter a routing slip via Word 2007 interface?

[Ilya Margolin]

With all those ribbons I cannot find what use to be Routing Recipient under
File|Send To menu in Word 2003. Does this functionality still exist or
discontinued? I found some elements pertaining to routing in the VBA object
model in Word 2007.

Unfortunately the Send To (Routing Recipient) command was removed from the
product.

Thanks, Beth.

I have figured that already. What would you suggest instead to achieve the
same or close functionality? Is there anything as simple as Routing Recipient
was out there?

If I needed a routing slip I'd try the VBA route - it looks like RoutingSlip
is still available in the Object model. You might want to post in one of the
VBA newsgroups and see if anyone there has some sample code you could use.

What is the recommended replacement feature for Routing Recipient in Word
2007. Will future version of Word include a similar function.

I doubt that it will be reinstated as other forms of document collaboration
seem to be the way of the future.

For now you probably have to do the same thing manually by attaching a copy
of the document to an email containing an appropriate message

Hope this helps.
