Chapter 2: Fireworks Basics
Using guides
Guides are lines that you drag onto the document canvas from the rulers. They serve as
drawing aids to help you place and align objects. You can use guides to mark important parts
of your document, such as the margins, the document center point, and areas where you want
to work precisely.
To help you align objects, Fireworks lets you snap objects to guides. You can lock guides to
prevent them from being accidentally moved.
Fireworks also has slice guides that allow you to slice a document for use on the web. Regular
image guides are different from slice guides, however. For information on slice guides, see
“Moving slice guides to edit slices” on page 258

1.
Click and then drag from the corresponding ruler.
