Fireworks Preference Settings

 

In order for Fireworks to play nice with Dreamweaver you must make the following adjustments to the program's preferences


Launch Fireworks and navigate to Edit > Preferences...

 

The Preferences dialog box opens

 

Click on the pull-down menu and select Launch and Edit

 

The window changes to reflect the Launch and Edit settings

 

Change both options to Always Use Source PNG

 

Hit Return or click OK

 

Navigate to File > HTML Setup...

If your menu is grayed-out, you must open a new document in Fireworks (Command-N)

 

The option will now be available

 

The HTML Setup dialog box opens

Make sure Dreamweaver HTML is the designated HTML Style

 

Change the Extension to .html

 

Check the Lowercase File Name box

You shouldn't need this because we always use lowercase, right?

 

Make sure Dreamweaver is the designated File Creator

 

When your setup looks like this, hit Return or click OK

 

If you haven't changed Dreamweaver's Preferences, do so now.
