The body includes a first section having a length extending longitudinally across the body and a height extending from the top of the body toward the bottom of the body. A second section has a length extending longitudinally across the body and a height extending from the first section of the body toward the bottom of the body. A third section has a length extending longitudinally across the body and a height extending from the second section of the body to the bottom of the body.

A hanging folder assembly for identifying documents that need attention includes a hanging folder that has a plurality of documents positioned therein for storage. A pocket is coupled to the hanging folder and the pocket has a depth and a width of approximately 9.0 inches for insertably receiving an ANSI Letter size paper. The pocket is oriented on the hanging folder such that the ANSI Letter size paper is oriented perpendicular to the documents in the hanging folder. In this way the pocket identifies the ANSI Letter size paper as needing attention.
