No Excel; Use "Open Office"

If you don't have Excel on your computer, you can use a program called OpenOffice, which you can download for free from that link. 

The instructions I've written won't apply 100% to the Open Office version.  The program still works, and it still makes the graphs all right.  But the graphs have some extra text on them, and some of the labels for the graphs are generic:  e.g. "Column C" when it should read "Sleep". 

The "drop-down" boxes I talk about in my instructions do not appear (probably because I didn't have or load the "Java scripts").   Without them, you have to enter a number by hand from the keyboard, which increases the hassle slightly, especially for the negative numbers the graph is designed to use for depression scores (instead you'll have to click that day's box in the depression column, then type the minus sign, then type the number you're living that day -- more keystrokes than I'd like you to have to use).

If someone wants to help rebuild the document in Open Office so that everything works correctly, that would be very nice; write me to collaborate on a revised version.
