How to use 対応 correctly


I see 対応（たいおう） quite often, but I can't seem to grasp exactly what this word
means or how to use it properly.

Checking a dictionary I get about 5 different definitions, all quite different
from one another.

My question is, what does this word actually mean and what are the most common
ways it is used? Are there any good example sentences which show the usage of
this word clearly?




In my opinion, the notion of 対応 that you will most likely run into in the wild
is as follows:

_showing a draft of a document for example_

[code]

    A: Hey, you forgot to add X thing to the document
    B: すみませんでした、今すぐ対応します。
    
[/code]

which means something like, "Sorry, I'll deal with it right away."

I'd think that for most of the times, 対応 is something you say when you want
somebody to deal with a task.
