Using the Property inspector, you can make slices interactive by assigning links and targets to the slices. You can also specify alternate text to be displayed in a browser while an image is loading. In addition, you can select an export file format to optimize a selected slice. If the Property inspector is minimized, click the expander arrow in the lower-right corner to see all slice properties.

Slice properties in the Property inspector

Using the Property inspector or the Layers panel, you can give slices unique names. Fireworks uses the name you specify to name the files that are generated from slicing upon export. If you don't enter a slice name in the Property inspector or the Layers panel, Fireworks automatically names slices for you upon export. You can change the auto-naming convention that Fireworks uses through the HTML Setup dialog box.

Fireworks exports a sliced Fireworks document as an HTML file and a series of graphic files. You can define properties for the exported HTML file using the HTML Setup dialog box.
