ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for facilitating lay-out of printed work to be produced on a work processor. The apparatus includes a rectangular base sheet, a transparent cover sheet substantially equal to the base sheet in length and width; the two sheets are attached together along one edge and have magnetically actuated clamp means for attaching them together along an opposite edge. Alignment strips are provided along the base sheet and cover sheet along the top left-hand edge for aligning a work place between the two sheets. A transparent grid sheet is provided to supply indicia enabling the user to locate particular positions on a work sheet, or work piece placed between the base sheet and cover sheet. Preferably also a margin locator sheet having indicia along two edges representing the margin set points of the work processor/printer is employed with the apparatus of the invention. In use, a user reads off the grid locator sheet the cursor positions for properly locating the material to be keyed into the word processor.
