Well, it looks like my obsessive compusive disorder has helped me out again.  I found a program that seems to be working for free

It's not exactly what I wanted, but I think i can get used to it, and it is going to save me a lot of time.  Now I can put my mind on auto pilot when I write my notes.  Thanks for all your help

Oh, your right, (du) 
I was thinking you clicked "print screen" when you right clicked.

is there a way to take a screenshot from a web page?  If I right click, I don't get the "print screen" button"

Wow Darwin.  You should write computer manuals-awesome directions.  I was able to save a screenshop- to my utter amazement- with your directions.  However, I don't have all the commands that you show on your screenshot- no link button.  I am so excited that I now know how to save screenshots!!

Anyways- I wrote down what happens when I write click word

-Open
-Pin to start menu
- send to
- copy
- remove from this list
- rename
- properties.

I'm not sure if I'm answering your question, but
It won't even run.  Wizzard completed, but it wont run.

It's one of those "um, du, did I forget to mention I am a blonde" questions.

I have tried to run the form letter machine about 10 times. 
I am able to complete the wizzard, but when I try to open, I get-
" Form letter machine exe. has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Not sure how to tell why!!

Mouser, your form letter machine is acutally very close to what I'm looking for.  Unfortuantaly, my computer will not let me run it. I wrote to you before about the problem, and we were not able to fix it.

If I were able to use your form letter machine, here are the things that would make it PERFECT
1.  Drop Down Boxes on catagories- Since i have so many topics, the list could get a little overwhelming. 
So I would need to be able to click on a topic, and then click on the subjects needed in my report.
2.  Ability to edit the document once it is created by your form letter machine.  I'd need to be able to add my own text to add details that are not "standard responses" 
3. For my computer to let me run it.  I could try it on another computer, I do have a laptop I havn't tried it on yet. 

I think there really is a market for your ForM letter machine- if you could advance it a little-
Social workers, support coordinators, teachers, lawyers, or anyone else that had to keep tedious case notes would love it.

Hello, I'm a social worker with almost no computer skills.  So,  I need something super simple- regardless of cost.
I have to write case notes- there are about 100 topics that I write over and over again- same exact thing. 

I want a program to write my notes for me.  This is what I'm looking for.

Name - I type in name

INTRODUCTION (drop down box)
- home visit
- face to face visit
- etc.

REason for contact
- med check
- problem
- etc. (various other topics in this list)

-----------

That's basically what I want to see.  Then I want to check off the topics I need to create the summary.  Then it automatically creates the report for me.  I'd like to take this one step further and be able to edit my final note and be able to add extra information.

Does anyone know of a program that I can create this with?  I hate writing notes and it takes up all my time.  THe program would similar to mouser's clip box and form generator programs. 

Mouser's clip box program almost worked for me, but it deleted the information I wrote after a few days, automatically!!  I could not install his form generator program for some reason and it's probably not sophisitcated enough for my needs.  HELP!!!
