Thick or over-sized files
files between 2.5 and 4 cm thick
00:08.9
00:14.1
If a file is between 2.5 and 4 cm thick,
00:14.2
00:16.5
it can probably remain a single file.
00:16.6
00:20.9
However, this is dependent upon the condition of the contents.
00:22.1
00:27.1
If the file is in poor condition,
you should check with your Transfer Adviser.
00:27.2
00:33.0
They can advise on whether it is necessary
to split the file to preserve the records,
00:33.1
00:36.0
or to leave it as a single file.
00:36.3
00:38.9
If you are advised to split the file,
00:38.9
00:43.5
check the contents of the file to find a sensible place
00:43.5
00:48.1
at which you can split the file into 2 similar thickness files.
00:48.1
00:52.0
A sensible place is between 2 documents,
00:52.0
00:54.6
rather than in the middle of a document.
00:55.9
01:03.2
Remove the contents from the second half of the file,
and put these into a new 4-flap folder.
