Editing Fireworks graphics from within FrontPage
Fireworks MX enables FrontPage users to easily access and edit images from Fireworks. By using this Macromedia feature in FrontPage, users will experience a smooth workflow and enhanced editing capabilities from within FrontPage.

Enable Fireworks integration with FrontPage

> If you install Fireworks MX after FrontPage is already installed, the Fireworks MX Installer executable will detect the existence of FrontPage on your system and ask you if you want to install the FrontPage component. Choose Yes.
 
> If you install FrontPage after Fireworks MX is installed, or if you previously elected not to enable this feature, you can enable the feature by following the steps below.
 
1 Close FrontPage if necessary.
2 Choose Run from the system's Start menu.
3 In the Run dialog box, type the following in one single line (a line break has been added for readability). Make sure to include the quotation marks.
  regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Fireworks MX\FP_Launch_FW.dll"
  Note: The path provided is the correct path to this file if you installed Fireworks MX to the default location. Specify the location of this file for your custom install if necessary.
  You will receive a message saying DllRegisterServer in <file location> succeeded.

Launch Fireworks from FrontPage

1 View the Toolbar in FrontPage. Notice the Fireworks button at the top right of the toolbar. When this button is present, you can select any image in the document and then click this button to launch Fireworks and open the image for editing and optimizing.
2 Once in Fireworks, the Document window will show a large "Done" button along with an icon that reads "Editing from FrontPage". Make the necessary changes.
 
3 When you are done editing the image, click the Done button. You are returned to FrontPage, and the selected image is updated.
