Importing Text; Importing Fireworks Files - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 2-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

Pasting
Each edit mode handles pasted data differently:
In object mode, pasting a pixel selection yields a
rectangular image object, which uses alpha
transparency to maintain the appearance of the
selection.
In image edit mode, pasting a vector graphic or
image object pastes a pixel selection that remains
floating until it is deselected. When deselected, the
selection becomes part of the current image.

Importing text

Import text into Fireworks using the same methods for
importing graphics. Fireworks imports two text formats:
RTF (Rich Text Format) and ASCII (plain text).
RTF
Choose File > Open or File > Import to import RTF text.
When RTF text is imported, Fireworks maintains these
attributes:
Font
Size
Style (bold, italic)
Alignment (left, right, center, justified)
Leading
Baseline shift
Range kerning
Horizontal scale
First character's color
All other RTF information is ignored.
Note: Fireworks cannot import RTF text using copy and
paste or drag and drop.

ASCII
Import ASCII text using any of the four import
methods. Imported ASCII text is set to the default font,
12 pixels high, and uses the current fill color.

Importing Fireworks files

Import saved Fireworks files into the current drawing
layer of an active Fireworks document. When
importing a Fireworks file:
Hotspot objects and slice objects are placed on the
Web Layer of the Layers panel. For more
information about URLs, see "Creating an image
map" on page 116.
Layers within the imported file are merged.
In files with multiple frames, only the first frame is
imported.
Imported objects from a Fireworks file are selected when
they are first imported so they may be easily grouped,
moved, or distributed immediately after import.
