So you want to have a box with solid fill and semi-transparent borders? Adobe Fireworks does not currently have a insant hands-on access to adjust the opacity of borders (aka Strokes). However the functionality for opacity control is there – it is just hidden.
When designers want to display actual formatted text before the final content is decided upon, they often use some form of “lorem ipsum” as a placeholder. The Lorem Ipsum auto shape makes inserting any amount of dummy text a breeze.
A set of 15 vertical textures for your designs. I got inspired by the Firefox website.

The Smart Punch command simplifies the task of punching one or more vector shapes into another. Normally, selecting several shapes and then clicking Modify > Combine Paths > Punch results in just the topmost path being punched into the bottommost one. The other selected paths are ignored. And punching a path into a bitmap, or vice versa, just doesn\’t work at all.
With this command, simply select two or more objects and run Smart Punch. The bottommost object will be punched by the upper ones, even if they\’re blocks of text or groups of paths. The punch target can also be a block of text, which will automatically be turned into a path before punching.
I was reading a post in the Adobe Fireworks user forum a day or so ago. Someone was concerned that Fireworks text controls were so limited that one could not create a hanging indent. Well, if you know anything about me, as soon as I hear a complaint or concern about my favorite Adobe app, I begin a fact-checking mission.
My name is Jiri Plistil and I stand behind the Webportio project. I’m working as a freelancer in the Czech Republic and I have been working in web design since 1998. I have been beta testing for several years and this year I beta tested: Fireworks CS5, Photoshop CS5, Acrobat X, Illustrator CS5, InDesign CS5.
As a Fireworks enthusiast, it was sad to see so many sources out there for Photoshop and so few for Fireworks. So I started to think about the idea of developing a resource site for Adobe Fireworks. Continue reading »
Check John Dunning’s command. When creating wireframes, it’s often useful to suggest the presence of text without using actual words, which can distract the viewer from the overall layout. Even lorem ipsum dummy text requires the selection of a typeface and size, which may be too much detail for the mockup. In hand-drawn mockups (does anyone still draw by hand?) you could use a marker to draw lines of different lengths to suggest text, but this effect has always been a pain to create with software. The Greeked Text1 auto shape makes it easy.
Use 9-Slice Scaling in Adobe Fireworks to scale objects without distortion. Excellent video.
Check John Dunning’s Fireworks extension: the multi-border rectangle Auto shape makes it easy to mock up HTML-style borders.
