Editing Fireworks files from Dreamweaver

Roundtrip HTML is a powerful feature that tightly integrates Fireworks and Dreamweaver. It
allows you to make changes in one application and have those changes seamlessly reflected in
the other. With Roundtrip HTML, you use launch-and-edit integration to edit Fireworks-
generated images and tables placed in a Dreamweaver document. Dreamweaver automatically
opens the Fireworks source PNG file for the placed image or table, letting you make desired
edits in Fireworks. The updates you make in Fireworks are applied to the placed image or
table when you return to Dreamweaver.
Before working with Roundtrip HTML, you should perform some preliminary tasks. For

About Roundtrip HTML

Fireworks recognizes and preserves most types of edits made to a document in Dreamweaver,
including changed links, edited image maps, edited text and HTML in HTML slices, and
behaviors shared between Fireworks and Dreamweaver. The Property inspector in
Dreamweaver helps you identify Fireworks-generated images, table slices, and tables in a
document.
Although Fireworks supports most types of Dreamweaver edits, radical changes made to a
table's structure in Dreamweaver can create irreconcilable differences between the two
applications. If you make radical changes to a table layout in Dreamweaver and then attempt
to launch and edit the table in Fireworks, a message appears warning you that changes you
make in Fireworks will overwrite any edits previously made to the table in Dreamweaver. If
you want to make considerable changes to a table layout, use the Dreamweaver launch-and-
edit feature to edit the table in Fireworks.
