D

rawing in Fireworks is similar to drawing in most other graphics programs: You select the tool

that creates the shape you want, then click and drag on the canvas. The program allows you to

add rounded corners to your rectangle while you draw by using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Fireworks includes a Text tool that allows you to add text to artwork. Because the text will be an

integrated part of your button, you can use any font installed on your computer, although you

should make sure that the font fits in your page design.
