The idea behind Schmuzzi is to move much of the information that would normally come out later in an interview to the front of the process. Prospective employers and clients can perform extensive research on the Schmuzzi subscriber based on the information presented within the Schmuzzi website. This allows the Schmuzzi subscriber to market themselves in a manner similar to how corporations market their products and services. Essentially allowing the Schmuzzi subscriber to become a brand.
Imagine dividing a resume website into its functionality and its content. When a Schmuzzi website is deployed all of the functionality is already there. All a Schmuzzi subscriber then needs to do is customize the features that they want and add their content. Almost everything in Schmuzzi is database driven, and therefore highly customizable. No technical abilities are required on the part of the Schmuzzi subscriber.
Schmuzzi is an extension to employment or networking websites, as opposed to an alternative. A Schmuzzi subscriber can link their Schmuzzi website to any employment, or networking websites to which they happen to belong. Each Schmuzzi subscriber gets their own Schmuzzi instance deployed to their own domain name. This is considerable different from merely having a profile on an employment or networking website. The Schmuzzi subscriber has far more freedom and control. The entire Schmuzzi website revolves around the Schmuzzi subscriber.
The ultimate vision of Schmuzzi is to create a technology infrastructure that would allow people to come together in cooperative collaborative enterprise.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Welcome to StartWrite
Let’s begin with what StartWrite is not. StartWrite is not a system or method for teaching handwriting. It is not a
series of lessons (although some are included) designed by leading educators for improving handwriting skills.
So, what exactly is StartWrite? StartWrite is a fun, enjoyable, versatile, tool for creating handwriting worksheet to
compliment whatever hand writing method or system you are using. No system has your child’s name in their work
book. No system lets you write a letter to grandpa or create a diary page in your child’s own handwriting. But with
StartWrite you can.
Actually, StartWrite was the first software program that used the computer to teach handwriting.
This user's manual contains information, tips and insights, and instructions on how to get up and running quickly
and easily.
With a quick explanation, you will immediately see the purpose for StartWrite. Those to whom I have described
StartWrite, especially those with children in elementary school, usually don't let me finish my description. Their
response is, "I know exactly what you are going to say and I think it would be great." I'll bet you do the same thing.
When our children were in elementary school, they would bring home handwriting assignments consisting of
letters in dot/dash form printed on pages with a line at the top of the letter, one at the bottom and a dashed line
in the middle. The pages looked like they had been recopied numerous times. My children would trace over the
dot/dash letters to practice their handwriting skills: the shape of the letter, the direction of the stroke, and the
spacing between letters, etc.
As a way to personalize my daughter, Emily’s, practice sheets, I decided to create a few lines of words with dots for
her to trace. That effort lasted just a few minutes. Try writing a couple of lines in doted letters and you'll see it's
not an easy task. I thought, “There has to be some software what would let me do this on the computer”, but I
found none. Thus was born the idea for a simple program that would form letters in dots which I could print for my
children to trace. Later I asked several friends who were teachers about my idea. Their response was interesting, it
wasn’t, “That’s a great idea”, it was “Do you have the software, I’ll buy one right now”.
I hope you enjoy StartWrite for creating fun, meaningful handwriting practice sheets, letters to grandparents, to
friends, journals for your children to record their thoughts in their own handwriting, or whatever else you can
think of. Let StartWrite help you help your child get ahead in school. StartWrite actually makes the computer a
tool to teach handwriting. The only real worry we have is that you will have so much fun making worksheets you
might forget just who the worksheets are really for.
We have now introduced StartWrite. It has a lot of the features that I envisioned when the idea for StartWrite first
popped into my head, but were not included in earlier versions. Now StartWrite is the software I always wanted. I
don’t get letters created with StartWrite from my daughter, now I get letters from my beautiful granddaughter,
Allie. I hope you like the new StartWrite and have fun making all kinds of worksheets.
Let us know how it works for you.

Thanks
Maria I. Garcia created the wonderful artwork for our new icons. We (Dave and Wayne) greatly appreciate her
amazing talents. Maria worked so hard on the icons even though she was suffering with terminal cancer and all the
complications and treatments that are associated with cancer. Maria passed away a short time after completing
the graphic for StartWrite.
Nicole Vjaters is the programmer who has added most of the wonderful new features. We are so grateful to
Nicole for her amazing programming talents and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a very capable
programmer. She has magically turned our ideas and suggestions into reality. It has been fun and exciting to
receive programming updates from Nicole. With each one we were always in awe and so excited. Thanks Nicole.
StartWrite is an A grade program because of you.
Wayne Wylie, my partner and the brains behind programming StartWrite since the beginning. Wayne is the logical
thinker of StartWrite. When I propose crazy ideas, Wayne looks at them and then in a logical, programmer kind of
way tells me that it won’t work or what changes need to be made to make it work. And he’s usually right. But he
lets me throw my ideas at him anyway and he is willing to put up with my constant changes and tweaks here and
there. StartWrite is the program it is because of Wayne’s hard work and professional expertise. Thanks.

What’s Available in StartWrite?
We are very excited about StartWrite. Below is a list of the feature in StartWrite. We have made some videos on
the website to show you how the new features work. We hope the videos will make learning and using StartWrite,
a fun experience.
New Icons: Beautiful New Icons with shading and color.
Letter Outline: This option lets the youngest pre-school children write letters inside an outline of the letter. You
can add lines for them to trace or just have what we call Decision Dots. This way the new student has more visual
support while writing the letters.
Decision Dots and Connect Dots Lines: The Decision Dots are dots at the critical points of a letter such as where
each stroke of the letter begins and ends, where the stroke begins to curve or bend or head off in a different
direction. The Connect Dots lets you add a very small solid line to show how the dots follow the letter.
Story: Lets text flow from Text Box to Text Box by using the Story option.
Border Art: Add fun and colorful borders around the box. You can also put a picture of the letter or word to
reinforce what the child is learning to write.
Grid: Add a non-printing grid to your worksheet to help align Text and Art Boxes.
Color Letters: Each different stroke can be shown in a different color or shade of gray. For example, you can
designate the 1st stroke as Red, the 2nd Blue, the 3rd
Green and the 4th
Black or whatever combination you like.
Each stoke can be different shades of gray. Color Letters is a tool to help you create fun and interesting
worksheets.
Area Highlight: We have expanded the highlighted writing area from just the middle and bottom to the top, middle
and bottom and now you can highlight any or all three at the same time and in any color or shade of gray you like.
Color everywhere: You can now change the color or shade of gray on just about everything. You can have green
arrows, and red, blue and black guidelines. You can have whatever colors or shades of gray you like on your
worksheets.
Description Balloons: When you hold the mouse pointer over a button for a couple of seconds, a description
balloon will open telling you what that option is. They’re just to help you remember where that feature you want is
located.
Dotted Shapes: We’ve added dotted shapes in with the fonts (found in the special characters section). Now you
can add a shape on the same line as the word. The student can trace the dotted outline of that shape and then
write the word.
Spanish Fonts: We’ve added Spanish Fonts (also found in the special characters section) so that those learning or
teaching Spanish can use StartWrite. We will be adding the special characters of other languages in the future.
Clean up some Bugs: We’ve cleaned up a lot of little bugs that always bugged us. One example is when you moved
a Text or Art box, the graphics under the box would not display, so you weren’t sure what was where. Now, when
you move a Box you only move an outline of that box so you can still see everything else on the page. When you
place the box outline in the position you want, then the box actually moves.

Teach Honesty
A message to those who have or have not yet purchased this StartWrite software.
Our children and students become what we teach them by the example we set for them. We cannot expect them
to become any greater in character than we are. Honesty is one of the most basic and fundamental principles and
should govern all human action. If we set an example by telling even a small falsehood, then we teach a mindset
for future justification of larger falsehoods. There is NO justification for dishonesty.
Don't set a bad example of dishonesty by stealing this software program-either by making another copy for you to
be used on another computer, or for use on someone else's computer.
Copying software dishonestly and illegally is no different than shoplifting. It is no different than if someone took
money from your wallet.
So we ask for complete honestly. If you do not own this software, please order it for yourself. We have priced the
software so that everyone can afford it and the income allows us to continue to make improvements on StartWrite
so everyone can benefit.
When you purchase and register your copy, you are entitled to receive free, by email, important update
information, customer support, and the peace of mind you get from knowing that you have a legal copy of our
software and that your example can be followed by others.
Thank you for purchasing StartWrite! We know you are going to enjoy it.

Chapter 2 - Using StartWrite
StartWrite is easy to use. There are no complicated commands. Everything is straight forward. Let's begin using
StartWrite so you can see how much fun and exciting it is to use the computer to teach handwriting.
If you haven't already started the program, do so by double-clicking the StartWrite icon on your screen.
Setting the Page Orientation
The first thing you need to do is decide if you want your page in a Portrait or Landscape layout.
Portrait prints a page that looks like this:
Landscape prints a page that looks like this:
When the program starts, the default layout is Portrait. Use the Orientation button to switch the page layout
from Portrait to Landscape or from Landscape to Portrait.
Click on the toolbar to select either Portrait or Landscape.
To see how your page will look when it is printed, Click File and then Print Preview
Working with Text Boxes
Unlike a word processor, StartWrite uses Text Boxes to enter text. Every time you open a new StartWrite
worksheet, a default Text Box is created for you. You can add multiple Text Boxes to the worksheet. The Font
attributes are Text Box specific and not Letter specific. So an attribute you select, such as Font Shading or Dot
Density will affect all the letters in that Text Box.
A StartWrite worksheet can contain several Text Boxes, but the boxes should not overlap. An overlapping Text
Box will hide the text in the box underneath it, which may not print properly.
Before entering text in a Text Box, you can move the Text Box to a different spot on the page, or you can make the
Text Box bigger or smaller horizontally to fit your needs (see Grid for help in aligning and placing your Text or Art
Box). The vertical size of a Text Box is determined by the font size and the number of times you have pressed the
Return or Enter key
If you would like to add blank lines just press the Return and a new, blank line will be added.

Menu, Tool and Property Bars
The top row is called the Menu Bar. By clicking on each word, a pop-down menu will open. You can then select
from the options shown there.
The second row we call the Tool Bar. These options relate to the entire page or are standard Windows programs
features (except for the Grid, that a new feature on StartWrite).
The third row we call the Property Bar. These options apply to each Text Box. The first two options of the Font and
the Font size are also standard Windows program options. After those two you will see all the options and features
that are unique to StartWrite. The Down Arrow to the right of many of the feature buttons will open an options
window for you to select various options such as colors, defaults, option on/off, etc.
Make a Text Box or Art Box Active
The Text Box or Art Box must be in the Active mode before you
can enter or edit text into a Text Box or make changes to an Art
Box. The box must also be Active before you can move it or resize
it or do anything with the box.
To make a box Active, simply click inside the box with the mouse
pointer. When a Text Box is active it will have black square
handles ( ) on the corners and in the middle of each side.
Only one box can be Active at a time. This will be the box you are working with. Boxes that are not Active will not
have the black squares in the corners and on the sides.
Insert a new Text Box
Click Insert, then Text or press on the toolbar. A new Text Box opens at the top of your document.
A new Text Box will include the default font of Manuscript (unless you set another font as the default) and
Guidelines. This allows you to begin entering text without having to do anything else. Type away.
You can also add a new Text Box by Copying an existing Text Box and then Pasting it on the page. The advantage
of using Copy / Paste is that you will maintain most of the attributes of the Text Box you copied.
Moving a Text Box
The Text Box must be active before it can be moved.
Place the mouse point near one of the dashed side lines of the box until a "four way" arrow opens.

Hold down the left mouse button and drag the Text Box or Art Box to the desired location on the worksheet page.
Also see Center Box in the Right Mouse Pop-out Menu below.
You cannot move a Text Box off the bottom of the white page. If you try, as soon as you release the box it will
bounce back on to the white page. If you resize the Text Box so that the bottom of the box would be off the page,
the system will relocate the box back onto the page.
Select a Font
StartWrite provides you with several different handwriting fonts: Manuscript (ball and stick or
similar to Zaner-Bloser), Manuscript 2 and Manuscript Simple (the latter two include some
modifications of Manuscript, Modern Manuscript (similar to D'Nealian), Italic (similar to
Getty/Dubay, Portland Italic), PLMR (similar to Palmer) and HWOT (similar to Handwriting
without Tears).
There are also Cursive versions of each of the fonts.
In addition, StartWrite gives you 3 print and 3 cursive fonts that were developed for the
handwriting styles in Australia: Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.
StartWrite has also added some other fun fonts. They include Clocks for teaching time, Money
for teaching how to count (US$) money, and 2 fonts for teaching Math. These fonts do not
utilize the dotted and other features of StartWrite, but include the numbers and math function
characters (add, subtract, etc.) for Manuscript, Modern Manuscript and Italic. One option
would be to make a Text Box with the math, clock or money characters and to the right of it a
different Text Box with the dotted letters of the word being taught.
StartWrite accepts Windows fonts installed on the computer. These can be selected for any
Text Box, but they will not be in the dotted format and utilize all the fun features of StartWrite.
An example of their use would be for a heading or instructions for use by teachers or parents.
The special functions apply only to StartWrite special fonts.
The Default Font (or the font that is used if no other default has been set) is Manuscript. The font used in the
Active Text Box is shown in the Font list located on the toolbar.
Change the Font
To change the font from the default font of Manuscript:
Click inside the Text Box so that it is Active with the black square handles.
Click the down arrow to the right of the Font drop-down list.
Scroll down the list until you find the font you want.
Click the font name once with the left mouse button.
Change the Default Font
To change the font from the default font of Manuscript:
Click on Format on the Menu Bar, then click on the first option Font… and the font window will open. Select the
font you would like to use as the default for all future uses of StartWrite and then check the box next to Set as
Default. The current Text Box will change to your new default font and each time you open StartWrite in the
future.

Set the Default Font
You can change the font default setting by clicking on Tools, select Default Fonts. Scroll down the list until you find
the font you would like to set as the default font for each time you use StartWrite. Click on the font and you will
see an example of it at the bottom of the Font window. Make sure the box “Set as default” is checked and then
press OK.
Change the Font Size
StartWrite allows font point sizes from a very small 8 point (you can’t see the fonts very well) to the very large 192
point. A 100 point size is about 1" high letters, and 192 point size is about 2" high. Most kindergarten and first
grade students learn with a 72 to 100 point font size. Second graders most often use a 48 point font size.
However, for beginning writers in pre-school and earlier, you may want to use even larger letters. You
can also create headings and titles of pages using larger font sizes. The default font size is 48 points.
You can use the Font Size drop-down list on the toolbar to change the size of the font in any of your
Text Boxes.
- Make sure the Text Box is Active with the square black handles.
- Click the down arrow to the right of the Font Size drop-down list button on the toolbar.
- Click on the Point Size you want and the font size will change.
To make really big letters, even up to the size of the page:
- Place the mouse pointer over the Font Size box. The Cursor will change to
the insert cursor ( I ).
- Click once on the font size. This will highlight the Font Size number in blue.
- Type in a large number using the number keys on the top of the keyboard and press Enter.
***The numeric key pad will not work for this option.*** In Manuscript a
letter sized to about 475 will fill the page. This way you can print full page
letters for the very youngest learner to start practicing letters. It may take a
little experimenting with the Font Size and your printer, but you can create full page large
letters for your very youngest learner to Start Writing. It is best to Zoom out so you can see
the entire page before making the letters so large. Otherwise you will not see what font sizes are too large
for the page.
Enter Text into a Text Box
After you have created a Text Box, you can type text in it. Before you begin typing, however, the Text Box must be
“Active” with small black squares (handles) in each corner and one square along each dotted line sides. There is a
one page size limit for Text Boxes meaning that a Text Box will not wrap from one page to another. You can
however have text wrap between two or more Text Boxes on the same page or on different pages using the
Include in Story Option explained below.
If the box is not Active, click
the Text Box once with the
mouse pointer to make it
Active. You will see the black
square handles in the corners
and on the sides.
Type the text you want inside
the Text Box.

Highlight Text for Copying or Deleting
After you have typed text into the box, you may decide to copy some of the text to a different place in the Text
Box or you may want to Delete a specific section of text. First you must Select the text. This is done by placing the
cursor at the beginning or end of the text to be Selected. Then, while holding down the left mouse button, drag the
cursor over the text you want to highlight. The text will stay Black as you highlight it, but turn RED as soon as you
let go of the mouse.
Be aware that when the letters are lightly shaded or have small dots the Red can be a little difficult to see, but it is
visible.
Once the text is highlighted you can Copy or Delete the selected text.
To Copy, select the text, then click Edit and then Copy or select the text and then press the Copy
button.
Next, place the cursor where you want the text to be copied to and click Edit and then Paste or
press the Paste button.
To delete text, highlight the text and then select Edit and then Cut or after you have selected the
text, press the Cut button.
Resize a Text Box
A Text Box will automatically resize vertically as you type additional text. But you may want to resize it horizontally
to fit with other Text and Art Boxes. You can use your mouse pointer to resize a box.
Make sure your Text Box is active with the black handles around the box.
Place the mouse pointer on one of the corners or side handles and the pointer will turn into one of the
re-size cursors:
- Cursor for horizon top or bottom sides
- Cursor for vertical sides
- Cursor for corners
Hold down the left mouse button and drag the corner or side until the box is the size you want.
To make a Text Box larger by extending the bottom lower, you must enter additional lines by either adding more
text (see above) or by entering blank lines (see below).
Create Blank Lines
After creating a Text Box, you may want to add some guidelines
without any text. You can do this by pressing the Enter key. Each
return will create a blank line. You can select the same style of
guidelines for the entire page, or you can have several Text Boxes in
your document that have different guidelines. However, you cannot
have different guidelines within the same Text Box.

Color Letters
This feature allows you to set a different color for each stroke of the
letter. A specific stroke can be emphasized while teaching handwriting.
For example the First Stroke on all the letters could be Red, the second
Blue, the third Green and fourth Purple. Also different shades of gray can be
substituted if a black and white printer is to be used. You can also set all the colors to
the same color to make more exciting and colorful worksheet. This is very useful if
the student has a favorite color, or the worksheet is going to be used for writing
special pages such as a scrapbook page or a letter to a friend.
To change the colors of the strokes, see the Changing Colors section above.
Area Highlight
This feature allows you to highlight with colors or gray any or all of the three writing areas: top, middle
and descender.
The Area Highlight button acts as a toggle switch to turn
the option on or off the colors which have been assigned
to each of the areas. Select different shades of gray if you
are using a black and white printer.
Lighter shades are better to show the letters, unless you
want to get fancy and make the shading dark and the

Flowing Text
Text can be made to flow from one Text Box to a second Text Box, a third Text Box and so on. The
attributes of each Text Box can be different. This means that if you change one Text Box to solid, light
gray letters, font size 72, but leave the second box in black, dotted letters, font size 48, when the text
flows from the first Text Box display he attributes of the second Text Box.
It is recommended that you set the attributes of the first Text Box such as Dot Shading, Dot Density, Starting Dots,
Font style and Font size etc. Then Copy the first Text Box and Paste it as the second Text Box and the Third,
depending on how many Text Boxes you intend to use. This will insure that the attributes are consistent from Text
Box to Text Box. If at a later time you decide to modify the attributes of one of the Text Boxes, you will need to
specifically change the attributes of each.
StartWrite was designed as a worksheet creator and not as a word processor so it is best not to include too many
Text Boxes.
To give a Text Box the attribute of Flowing Text, first make the Text Box
active by clicking on it. The black handles in the corners and in the middle of
each side of the box will turn black. Then press the “Flowing Text”
button. This will turn the black handles to yellow. The Text Box now
has the Flowing Text attribute. Next, create a second Text Box.
Make sure the Text Box is still Active with the black handles,
then click on the right mouse button. A window will open, select Copy,
then click the Right Mouse Button and select Paste. The additional Text
Boxes can be on the same page or on another page. The text flows from
one Text Box to the next based on the order of the Text Boxes on the
page from top to bottom.
The last Text Box will continue to enlarge as more text is entered. The previous Text Boxes will remain the same
unless manually enlarged.
When the Text Box reaches the end of the page it will enlarge upward to include the
letters you are adding. Once it has reached the top of the page, the next letter or
word you type will cause the Text Box to enlarge beyond the bottom of the white
page. When it does you will no long be able to add any more text. You must
backspace to remove the line off the bottom of the page. Then you must either
reduce the size of the font or make another Text Box with Flowing Text on a
following page.
You can add additional Text Boxes and once you designate them as included in the
Story, the text will flow to the next Text Box. You will still need to move the cursor to
type in the following Text Boxes, but the text will flow as you add or delete text from
the Text Boxes.
If you have three or more Text Boxes, deleting a Text Box will cause the text in the
second box to flow to the following Text Box.
The option to give a Text Box that attribute of Flowing Text can also be accessed by
clicking the right button on the mouse. A menu window will open and one of the
options is “Include in Flowing Text”. The Text Box must be Active with the black
handles showing in the corners and middle of border lines. Then click on Include in
Flowing Text and the handles of the Text Box will change to Yellow.

Border Art
The Border Art option allows you to add graphics around the border of a Text Box. You can also add lines
around a Text Box using the Border Lines option under Format on the Menu Bar and by using the Right
Mouse Pop-out window described below. An Art Box can only have Border Lines and not Border Art.
To select a Border Art, click on the Border Art Button
and the Border Art option window will open. You next
can select color or black/white Border Art or turn the
Border Art off. If you have a black and white printer
you can use the color borders and the colors will
show as shades of gray. However some colors may
print in shade of gray that may be difficult to
distinguish so the Black and White Border Art has
been designed for black and white printers.
Select the Color by clicking in the circle to the left of Color. Then scroll down the
Border Art descriptions and click on Checkerboard Blue-White. You will see what
the Border Art will look like in the Preview window below. Next click on the
size 50 and then press OK. You will return to the Text Box with the Border
Art surrounding it.
Because the Border Art occupies a certain amount of the Text Box, it
reduces the amount of space for writing text. It is best to select the Border
Art and size before you begin typing any text. In addition, the graphic
shapes around the Border Art will make the Text Box large because there
needs to be space for each complete graphical shape.
You will note in the Checkerboard Blue-White that there is a large amount
of space between the Descender Line and the bottom Checkerboard border
around the Text Box. This space is required to display the complete
checkerboard graphic. To reduce this space you will need to reduce the Size
of the Checkerboard Blue-White border.
Border Art also includes clip art.
