Does there exist an "easel" that would solve my problem...

Propping paper drawings between monitor and Function keys of keyboard is unstable :-(



Perhaps someone makes something? ...Jim Thompson

Would a clip that holds the paper to the side of the monitor work for you?

E.g.,

Nope, the monitor is already 23" wide, so looking down works better than looking away. ...Jim Thompson

Check office supply stores. I have used a clip board and little wire rack in the past, when I was transcribing book chapters into the computer.

Still a bit spendy, but a lot of that sort of thing is these days.

It looks like your keyboard is already on a slide-out drawer beneath the main desktop surface, right?

If that's the case, you might think about mounting the monitor on an arm attached to the wall or the back of the desk so that you can gain the space that's currently occupied and blocked by the monitor's own stand.

I use a thing that holds papers on either side of my keyboard, and it includes work lighting and mouse support. It's called a "desk."

I usually just sticky-tape it to the monitor. Another trick... I wrap a paper towel around my mouse pad and when it gets dirty, unwrap it and wrap a new one around it. Works great!

I do that with Post-it Notes, though I'm gravitating towards using "stickies" ...

If your monitor is a CRT, the static on the glass face will hold the paper.. ..might be slightly impractical if you want to see both..

Anything, rather than censorship.
