Notice the Tools Panel in
your Fireworks application. The currently selected tool is the "Pointer
Tool" -- the standard cursor pointer. Place your mouse over
the other tool icons for a brief description of each.
You will be using the "Text Tool" icon on the Tools
Panel during this tutorial. Take a moment and find it. (Hint: Look
for the letter "A" in the Vector area on the Tools Panel.)
You
will also be using the Colors Panel, which is located below the
Tools Panel in this window. This is used to change the color of
the object you are working with.
As long as you are examining the screen, take a look in the Main Tool
Bar across the top of the Fireworks Window.

It is handy to know how to undo an action when using Fireworks
-- just in case you make a mistake. Pressing the Ctrl and Z keys
at the same time will undo your most recent action. There also
is an Undo option located under the Edit Option on the Main Tool
Bar.
