The initial graphic and text for one button have already been created for you. You convert this graphic into a button symbol.

  1. In Fireworks, select the button graphic labeled BUTTON TEXT in the upper-left corner of the document.
  2. Select Modify > Symbol > Convert to Symbol.

    The Symbol Properties dialog box appears.

  3. Type My Button in the Name text box, select Button as the symbol type, and click OK.

    A slice appears on top of the button graphic, and a shortcut icon appears at the left of the slice. This indicates that the selection in the workspace is an instance of the symbol you just created. Symbols are like master copies of your graphics. When you change a symbol, all of the instances of that symbol in your document change automatically. Symbols reside in the library.
