Don't overlook the simple solution of hanging files in a file cabinet. They are
11.75 inches wide, so the instructions fit just fine. You can use manila folders
inside the hanging files if you want to subdivide by size. This has the added
advantage of not having to fiddle with sliding the directions in and out of sheet
protectors (which can be annoying). A number of different carrying cases exist for
hanging files, if you want portability.

If you do use sheet protectors, remember that you may want to special-order the
"A4" size from the UK if you want them not to stick out at the top. And get A4 size
binders, as well.

Good luck!

Subject: Storing Instruction Manuals

Hello Everyone.

I've decided it's time to organize and store my instruction manuals.

The large size manuals don't fit very well into folders, because the tops peak
out and are bound to get bent. (!)

I have 100+ instruction manuals, so small-scale storage is not really an
option. :(

Hie thee to Wal-Mart, where you can buy zipper binders for $2.00 on
clearance (from Back to School).

these won't help on the really BIG instructions, but are great for the 8.5 x
11 or near that size (but smaller).

YOu will need some sheet protectors, also available at WM. I usually buy the
Heavy Duty ones.  There are only a few pennies more, and MUCH more durable
than the cheaper ones.

Rob
