Since you asked about doing this in Fireworks, I can only assume you
drew up a graphic design in FW, now you want to set some hot spots,
slice it up and let FW make a web site out of it. Very bad idea.
Image maps for navigation generally stink. Slicing up images and
splicing them back together in HTML stink more. The HTML code generated
from graphics programs stinks even more than that.
If you're going to do it, you should learn how to do it right, or at
least how to not do it so badly. That means learning some HTML and CSS
yourself and not just relying on some program to do it for you. Most do
a lousy job of it.
Here is a decent online tutorial, though you should stick with HTML 4.01
Strict instead of XHTML.

Here are some templates you can use/study to see how to do CSS layouts.

And navigation menus.
