Super boring question. Still, hope me. →[More:]

I'd like some way to store 11x17 documents in my big ole lateral files. Does anyone know of some sort of accessory that would allow me to do this?

*sigh*

Specklet, I REALLY wish I could help. But, alas, I cannot.

I assume folding them is out? That's my usual solution.

These people probably have some sort of solution that will work for you.

Thanks, dersins, I'll persuse that site.

Yeah, occhi, they're nice architectural documents, and my designer is getting tichy about storing them just so.

*whuffles richat*

wow, pantsless specklet AND whuffles? I think I must be dreaming.

P.S. It's about 95 degrees in my office for some reason. I think they're trying to get rid of me, but are trying to make me quit. I just told my office mate that I wish I was barefoot!

Specklet: search for "Front to Back Lateral File Rails"

This question really confused me because I mixed up "lateral files" with flat files. That is all.

Well not really 'all'. Those socks are incredibly hawt.

Also, these look interesting.

Those socks rule.

Specklet, have you seen this AskMe thread about a similar (not identical) question?

posted by Elsa 03 May | 14:26

Yeah, we have flat files, but my boss wants to file them in the lateral file cabinets.

She's crazy.

(This is the same woman who just told me that she wants me to print out copies of all the invoices that we send out to clients so she can keep them in a file at her desk. This is in addition to the electronic copies I keep, as well as the hard copies I keep in the lateral filing cabinet that is ten feet away from her chair.)

Glad y'all like the socks. They were a present from a Mechazen!
