When you open and edit an image slice that is part of a placed Fireworks table, Dreamweaver automatically opens the source PNG file for the entire table.

Before editing Fireworks tables from Dreamweaver, you should perform some preliminary tasks. For more information, see Setting launch-and-edit options.

NOTE

You may get a Dreamweaver error if you nest another table inside the original Fireworks-generated table and then try to edit the table using Roundtrip editing in Dreamweaver. For more information, see TechNote 19231 on the Adobe website.

To open and edit a Fireworks table placed in Dreamweaver:

  1. In Dreamweaver, choose Window > Properties to open the Property inspector, if it is not already open.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click inside the table, and click the TABLE tag in the status bar to select the entire table. (The Property inspector identifies the selection as a Fireworks table and displays the name of the known PNG source file for the table.) Then click Edit in the Property inspector.
    • Click the upper left corner of the table to select it, and then click Edit in the Property inspector.
    • Select an image in the table, then click Edit in the Property inspector.
    • Control-double-click (Windows) or Command-double-click (Macintosh) the image you want to edit.
    • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the image, and then choose Edit with Fireworks from the context menu.

    Dreamweaver starts Fireworks, if it is not already open. The source PNG file for the entire table appears in the Document window.

    For more information on Fireworks source PNG files, see Fireworks Help.

  3. In Fireworks, make the desired edits.

    Dreamweaver recognizes and preserves all edits applied to the table in Fireworks.

  4. When you have finished editing the table, click Done in the Document window.

    The HTML and image slice files for the table are exported using the current optimization settings, the table placed in Dreamweaver is updated, and the PNG source file is saved.
