Slices in Fireworks

I have a page in Fireworks where I have a placeholder to the left and a
different size placeholder to the right of the page. I created slices over
these. The slices are different sizes. After I export and place into
Dreamweaver I delete the placeholder and place my text in. Because the slice
on the left of the page is longer than the slice on the right of the page, I
get white space in different areas of the page when viewed in explorer. I
noticed that the white space is created when I extend my left side text beyond
the slice of my right side. If I stay the same size as the right slice, it
looks fine. Is there a way to avoid this? It's like the slices are connected
but they aren't. Please help if you can.

Fireworks makes a hard-coded table to represent your page layout. When you
delete the placeholder images and replace them with text, there is no guarantee
that the sizes of the cells will retain the sizes specified by Fireworks. Your
table breaks.

What you should do is make your graphics in Fireworks and your HTML in
Dreamweaver. Fireworks is a graphics program, it is not a WYSIWYG HTML
development environment. The code it produces is intended to be used for
mockups and prototypes, not for real sites. Build your HTML from scratch in
Dreamweaver and you won't have the problems you get trying to modify Fireworks'
fragile HTML.
