Button Text options

Question

Okay I have been working on C3 for 2 months. Subscribed to
Lynda.com...ran tutorials checked every help link. The Fireworks
Help function stinks. Editing button symbols, here's what you get
when you querie button text.
"Fireworks button symbols are a special kind of symbol. They
have two kinds of properties: some properties change in all
instances when you edit an instance of the symbol, and other
properties affect only the current instance. Here's what you get
when you querie button text.
Fireworks button symbols let you take advantage of the
convenience of symbols yet allow you to edit certain properties of
a button instance, such as text, without affecting other
instances."
Just fabulous, really.....How? Adobe tells me that it can be
done.....just not how.
I import a 3 position button from the library. I use the 9
slice tool to set the button size, enter the text in the properties
box. Tried to change the font, style or even use the fonts in the
styles tab....no luck. I'm just
trying to make a few buttons for a web page, why is it soo
hard? Why does the help link not walk you
through the process? Nothing in Lynda.com tutorial.

Click on the button to select it, and then change the text on
the 'TEXT'
line in the Property inspector.

Double click on the button to open the button editor window.
Change the
font properties in the Properties inspector. Return to page
