Pasting into Fireworks

You can copy and paste any of these formats from the Clipboard:

FreeHand 7 or later
Illustrator
PNG
PICT (Macintosh)
DIB (Windows)
BMP (Windows)
ASCII text

When you paste an object copied from another application into Fireworks, the object is centered in the active document.

Each edit mode handles pasted data differently:

In object mode, pasting a pixel selection yields a rectangular image object, which uses alpha transparency to maintain the appearance of the selection. Vector objects retain vector attributes.
In image edit mode, pasting a vector graphic or image object pastes a pixel selection that remains floating until it is deselected. When deselected, the selection becomes part of the current image.
