Is it a Bug? Integration between Dreamweaver and Fireworks is broken in somewhere?

Question

I can not upload images related my topic here but you can see
it in the same topic at
http://www.fireworksguruforum.com/index.php?showtopic=14282
I use CS3 Suite. It is a big trouble for me in working on
real pages. Integration is broken in somewhere else and after that
point it becomes impossible to work on Fireworks through
Dreamweaver.
I've made test to show this trouble and I narrowed the
problem to the pictures as shown in the figures below,
1) In figure one I am creating a completely new Fireworks
file as arrow.png with two frames and one slice in it. After I am
saving it as .png I am exporting it as .html with images in /images
subfolder.
2) After saving and closing the file in Fireworks, in figure
two, I am opening the html in Dreamweaver and changing the page
properties by writing zeros to page margins and by changing the
default font.
-----I guess in this point something happens which breaks the
integration between FW and DW--------because;
3) In figure three I am opening the .png through Dreamweaver
(by "Edit") and changes the place and size of the slice a little
bit
4) When I press Done in Fireworks I see this picture in
figure four in Dreamweaver which shows integration between FW and
DW about table structure is broken. (In this point if I add any
behaviur to the slice DW doesn't recognize it, or any other change
in FW can not be recognized by DW)
5) In order to show this broken integration in table
sturucture, I am putting a new slice to png when Editing from DW in
FW.
6) When I click on Done in DW I see this picture on the
figure six. Beacuse FW doesn't have any effect on html's table
structure code.

I can reproduce your results, but I don't consider this a
bug; just a
limitation of Roundtrip editing.
You can't add or change slices without re-exporting the html
from
Fireworks. Roundtrip is for image editing, not for altering
the table
structure. If I edit, and re-export, my table remains intact.
If you want to edit the slices and resulting html, open the
PNG file
independently of Dreamweaver, change your slices and images
and then
choose File > Update HTML (this option is not available
when in
Roundtrip mode). FW will ask you to locate the html file.
When located,
you will have the options of
Replace Images and Their HTML - replaces the previous
Fireworks HTML.
Update Images Only - overwrites only the images.
As an aside, the rigid table created by FW is rarely
desirable for a
production web site.
