Are we talking about the same? This thread is about Adobe FW
(Fireworks). You might probably not know this product. Check this URL:
http://www.adobe.com/products/fireworks/ and read the description
carefully. FW is the worst application for print related design. And
slicing doesn't literally mean 'to slice a piece of paper' in this
particular context. It's a way of cutting out images out of a bigger
image (e.g. a layout with a logo, and you are slicing out the logo
only). Sliced images are then exported into your /images/ folder, and
incorporated into CSS classes as backgroun-image for instance. This has
nothing to do with print.
