�
Where possible, transfer any
paper files to computer disks via scanning to prevent having to have file
storage for the paper.�
Be sure to make folders
(directories) on the computer using the same types of categories one might
use for paper files.� Then each individual file (or document) related to
that category would be placed in that folder.� Be sure to name the files in
a way that what is in them is easy to figure out without having to open the
file.� Do not use periods (.) in names as this may confuse the system
regarding file extensions, however may use underscore symbol.� See the
example file and folder names in the following table.�
