Thank's, Bernhard, to taking time to reply to my post.

Asymmetric encryption requires the recipients to use my public key to
get access the documents, whereas symmetric encryption only requires
them to key in the encryption key. Obviously the recipients who are not
confident enough with using asymmetric encryption won't be able to
verify the authentity of the documents, but this a least drawback.

However, if I can't sign and encrypt in a single step, I'll sign and
then symmetrically encrypt the signed document, or the other way around.

I forgot to write that I want the process (sign and encrypt) to procede
without any keyboard-typing.

My previous message seems to have been a HTML message. I unchecked the
control and hope this answer is a clear text message
