The Fireworks Workspace

When you open a document in Fireworks for the first time, Fireworks activates the work environment, including the Tools panel, Property inspector, menus, and other panels (see Figure 1). The Tools panel, on the left of the screen, contains labeled categories, including bitmap, vector, and web tool groups. The Property inspector appears along the bottom of the document and initially displays document properties; the properties change when you choose a new tool or an object in the document. The panels are initially docked in groups along the right side of the screen.
