How to Create a New Document in Fireworks CS3
When you first open Adobe Fireworks CS3 you’re going to see this introduction screen. From here you can open a recent item, create a new item or use Fireworks Exchange.
So in order to create a new document you can click on this Fireworks document link on the introduction screen or you can also go up to file and then new and then for your settings go ahead and set the width with your keyboard, set the height, and you could change the measurements to be either pixels, inches or centimeters for both the width and the height. You can also change the resolution and of course, the higher resolution you set, the clearer the picture is going to be, but also the larger your file size. So keep that in mind. You could do pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter.
Your canvas color you can set as white, you can set as transparent or you can set as custom. If you click on custom then you could click on the color picker and then you could go and you could choose a swatch or you can even create a custom color, click OK and it will choose that. As to your new swatch, click OK again and it will go ahead and it will create your new Fireworks document based on the canvas size and the color that you specified for the background.
