John, I don't think that what you are trying to do is a Fireworks problem 

but an html problem.  The stage in Fireworks is square, even with the 

blank areas. If you create a smooth image slice and slice cut out the 

blank table area, and export it as a javascript rollover, eg, or just as 

slices, you are going to end up with a table in html and not a FRAMESET, 

which is sounds to me like you are trying to do. 


However, you can dissassemble the table .gif images that are part of your 

slices, delete the blank area gif of your stage, and then create separate 

frames pages for your nav bars and headers. and then reassemble them into 

a frameset. 


Write to me off list if you need more info or if you don't get the 

answers you need.
