Today's sophisticated GPS systems and other technologies allow us to instantly find exact locations of objects in space, planes in the air, and places or objects on earth. Why then is it so difficult in

many offices to instantly find file folders and records in paper filing systems? The reality is that many office paper filing systems are out-of-control messes. So let's change that! The quality of office paper filing systems is often a major factor in retaining customers and keeping them satisfied-or in driving customers away in frustration. What follows are 13 tips for keeping your files in tip-top shape.
