MORE INFORMATION

A Binder is a collection of programs rolled up into one "notebook" or Binder. For example, instead of opening Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint individually, you can create a Binder and add a Word document, an Excel worksheet, and a PowerPoint presentation. You can then save the Binder, which includes all the types of files, and open the collection of files at once at a later time.
