The inside file folder needs to be turned 180 degrees so the opening does not go over the rings but is at the left edge. You cannot load the extra 200 sheets with any ease.
What can one say about an ordinary 3-ring binder? On the other hand the "better" ones from Staples are pretty darn good. They come in a variety of bright colors with a nifty window on the spine so you can insert a card identifying what's in the binder at a glance. They open with the press of a button they don't bite my fingers when closing (important) and they are sturdy enough to last at least 40 years if you treat them well. So I keep ordering more of them in different sizes--just can't help myself!
These binders have been great for organizing family genealogical material. The size is good for dividing individual documents & pictures that I am loading into archival plastic page protectors. The rings open easily with the opening mechanism and the D-ring keeps the pages flat and easy to go through. The front of the binder provides a plastic-covered sleeve for identifying the binder as does the spine. Both are easy to use. I plan to continue using these binders for future organization.
This is a great binder; tough let's me customize the cover and spine the right color blue. The only thing I would like is to have a choice of the pocket inside the front flap or a flap that I can slide a business card or info sheet into. This only offers the pocket.
