Very Beginner! NEEDS HELP! Slicing

[emosamurai webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

First off, this is my first time using Fireworks. I work for a webdesign company in Dallas, TX and my job is I design the site, and how it's going to look and all in p-shop and I then send the image file to my company and they "cut-it-up" as they call it, and turn it into a workable website with html and everything.

Well, I know that the only 2 programs, for the most part, that they use are fireworks and dreamweaver. So, since I am in charge of my church's site, I decided that instead of making the entire website one big image with image maps and hotspots, I'd give fireworks a try.

I've created a simple navigation/header and footer graphics with the middle area being a blank space for editable html. Now, I tried to manually slice, since I just learned what that was, and it turned out ROUGH, to say the least.

So, my question is: Since I know a lot of you are experts, if I showed you the image, or even let you d/l the image, could you cut it up for me or tell me how with instructions? I know that is asking a lot, but I am a designer, that's what I do and that's what I am good at, but at church, they see me as the "computer guru" since no one else really knows anything about this stuff.

I'd appreciate any help. I'll post the image url and my email address is heartfulemotion at yahoo dot com. Just replace the "at" and "dot" and you got it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you Marlon for your response. I checked out the tutorial and I think it may aid my progress.
