automate stop duration and multiple routes

Sorry if this is a beginner question... but I'm a new user. I have approx 200 stops to make in a single territory. (I wouldn't go to the trouble, but I need to do this for 20 territories!) Stops are imported as Pushpins.

Two questions:
1. How do I automate the stop duration? The TIP says it can be done, but I can't seem to figure it out. Can't find preferences or appointments, etc.
(Tip You don't need to schedule every stop on your route. You can set a schedule for certain stops—such as for an appointment—and then let MapPoint automatically schedule the rest of your route based on the preferences you have set.)

2. I expect my 200 stops will require approx 10 routes. Can I optimize these in aggregate or do I have to manually pick (or highlight) the approx 20 stops in each route? Can multiple routes be viewed on the same map?

Thanks!
