Moving slice guides to edit slices
Slice guides define the perimeter and position of slices. Slice guides extending beyond slice objects
define how the rest of the document is sliced upon export. You can change the shape of a
rectangular slice object by dragging the slice guides that surround it. Nonrectangular slice objects
cannot be resized by moving slice guides.
Resizing a slice object by dragging its slice guides
Note: If you drag slice guides that surround a Fireworks button in the Document window, Fireworks
resizes the slice that defines the active area for that button. However, you cannot delete the active
area for a Fireworks button by dragging the slice guides that surround it.
If multiple slice objects are aligned along a single slice guide, you can drag that slice guide to resize
all the slice objects simultaneously.
