Since my job requires me to enter lists of information into our system on a regualr basis the stand keeps my place for me when I take a call or someone comes in with question. It keeps the information visible and when I'm done flods up compactly to fit in the drawer.
I like it and haven't had any negative issues so far. I use it daily and am so glad I have it. Makes my work alot easier. Saves wear and tear on my neck.
I use this product for both word and spreadsheet applications. When using a simple 8 1/2" x 11" document great product. Thick attached documents are difficult to hold behind guide bar. I prefer a guide bar which can apply to both verticle and both horizontal left and right positions easily.
