Hi Bob, Did you make the first line of your file .LOG with LOG all caps? It must be so in order for it to work. This is a function built into Notepad so the version of Jaws doesn't make any difference. I just mentioned it because it is compatible with Jaws and it is simple and free.

Thanks...Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Beaver To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 6:27 AM Subject: accessible diary software HI, I use Notepad as my diary/daily log software. If you create a file and place ".LOG" as the first line in the file then Notepad will automatically drop to the end of the file and insert the current date and time for you. You could then type your subject and the rest of your entry. Very cheap and very simple and Jaws friendly.
