1. A computer implemented method for stopping output of a correspondence, comprising:
- creating, by a computer processor, a correspondence;
determining, by the computer processor, whether an automatic output flag indicating whether the createdcorrespondence is to be automatically output, is defined in user settings for the correspondence and, when defined, determining if the automatic output flag is set;
determining, by the computer processor, whether an automatic output flag indicating whether the created correspondence is to be automatically output, is defined in customizing for the correspondence, when it is determined that the automatic output flag is not defined in the user settings;
storing, by the computer processor, the created correspondence in a storage area when it is determined that the automatic output flag is not set in the user settings or when the automatic output flag is not defined in the customizing;
initiating, by the computer processor, output of the created correspondence when it is determined that the automatic output flag is not set in the user settings or when the automatic output flag is not defined in the customizing; and
rendering and outputting, by the computer processor, the created correspondence, wherein when the automatic output flag is set, the created correspondence is automatically rendered and output without storing and when the automatic output flag is not set or the automatic output flag is not defined in the customizing, a user is notified and the created correspondence is rendered and output from storage after allowing the user to make changes to the created correspondence in storage.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for stopping output of a correspondence are provided. A correspondence is created and it is determined whether an automatic flag is defined in the user settings for the correspondence and if the automatic flag is set. If it is determined that the automatic flag is not defined in the user settings, it is determined whether an automatic flag is defined in customizing for the correspondence. If the automatic flag is not set in the user settings or the automatic flag is not defined in the customizing, the correspondence is stored in a storage area and output is initiated. The correspondence is then rendered.

28. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including computer executable code for stopping output of a correspondence, comprising:
-
code for creating a correspondence; code for determining whether an automatic output flag indicating whether the created correspondence is to be automatically output, is defined in user settings for the correspondence and, when defined, determining if the automatic output flag is set; code for determining whether an automatic output flag indicating whether the created correspondence is to be automatically output is defined in customizing for the correspondence, when it is determined that the automatic output flag is not defined in the user settings; code for storing the created correspondence in a storage area when it is determined that the automatic output flag is not set in the user settings or when the automatic output flag is not defined in the customizing; and code for initiating output of the created correspondence when it is determined that the automatic output flag is not set in the user settings or when the automatic output flag is not defined in the customizing; and code for rendering and outputting the created correspondence, wherein when the automatic output flag is set, the created correspondence is automatically rendered and output without storing and when the automatic output flag is not set or the automatic output flag is not defined in the customizing, a user is notified and the created correspondence is rendered and output from storage after allowing the user to make changes to the created correspondence in storage. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
