Did they just eff up the sheet? I just noticed the actually numbered ones are kinda out of order in that if you replace the octothorpes in "increase positive emotions" "ACCEPTS" and "Accepting reality" it actually flows numerically.

I think I'm going to download it myself and (obviously put in the right numbers) but change the cognitive distortion ones to be Greek symbols instead. I feel like using personalization and blame should use a different label system than using radical acceptance or assertiveness. Labeling should be π, it only seems right.
I got redirected the first time I tried to go to that page. It turns out you've got two of the same URL in that link (doubtless not officially called a WRL, though it could be ) Anyway, with a haploid URL I found the Diary Cards page here: Diary Cards | DBT Self Help

I clicked the "download" link and the file got opened with Open Office as a very formatted-up .XLS spreadsheet. For the first few seconds I was seeing "##" in place of some of the numbers but they did all eventually turn into numbers. My impression was that it just took Open Office a while to finish displaying that page.

O.T.:
I read a while ago that Open Office was no longer being updated (or maybe maintained). I don't know if it's still available for downloading but the copies that I have still work pretty well and I'm planning to hang onto them as long as I have Windows versions that will run them.
