Cropping A Document; Using Context Menus - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 8-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

Cropping a document

By cropping, you can delete unwanted portions of a document. The canvas is resized to fit an
area that you define.
By default, cropping deletes objects that extend beyond the canvas boundaries. You can retain
objects outside the canvas by changing a preference before cropping.
To crop a document:
1. Select the Crop tool from the Tools panel or select Edit > Crop Document.
2.
Drag a bounding box on the canvas. Adjust the crop handles until the bounding box
surrounds the area of the document that you want to keep.
3.
Double-click inside the bounding box or press Enter to crop the document.
Fireworks resizes the canvas to the area you define and deletes objects beyond the edges of
the canvas.
You can retain objects outside the canvas by deselecting Delete Objects when
Cropping on the Editing tab of the Preferences dialog box before cropping. For more
information about preferences, see

Using context menus

window.
