Fireworks Tool Panel

Fireworks Tool Panel

Notice the Tools Panel in your Fireworks application. The currently selected tool is the "Pointer Tool" -- the standard cursor pointer. Place your mouse over the other tool icons for a brief description of each.

You will be using the "Text Tool" icon on the Tools Panel during this tutorial. Take a moment and find it. (Hint: Look for the letter "A" in the Vector area on the Tools Panel.)

Colors Panel You will also be using the Colors Panel, which is located below the Tools Panel in this window. This is used to change the color of the object you are working with.

As long as you are examining the screen, take a look in the Main Tool Bar across the top of the Fireworks Window.

Menu Bar

It is handy to know how to undo an action when using Fireworks -- just in case you make a mistake. Pressing the Ctrl and Z keys at the same time will undo your most recent action. There also is an Undo option located under the Edit Option on the Main Tool Bar.
