4. Click Send.

Send to a Routing Recipient

You can route a workbook as an attachment to a number of people and track their responses. This workbook can be sent to everyone at the same time, or routed sequentially through the list of recipients.

To route a workbook, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, point to Send To, and then click Routing Recipient.
2. To select recipients, click Address.
3. Select the recipients, and then click OK.
4. Select the routing options that you want.
