Advice on copying buttons from Fireworks to Dreamweaver

I've designed a set of buttons with three states and pop-up menus in fireworks,
and I want to export them to Dreamweaver. I've read a few tutorials on this,
but they all export the whole nav bar. Now I want the buttons to each sit in a
cell of a table. Do I have to save each button separately and import each one
into a cell or is there a better way of doing it? My solution was to import
the nav bar, then copy and paste each button into the cell and then delete the
nav bar. This worked, but I can't now edit those buttons -if I click on them
and say 'edit in Fireworks', I get a simple bitmap of the button in fireworks,
with no pop up menus , layers etc on offer. How can I, say, edit the text on an
indiviadual button once its in Dreamweaver?

Do not use the FW pop-up menus.

is there a better way of doing it?

There are MUCH better ways of doing it. Please read these -

Yes, I've already read a set of messages about the subject today, but that
wasn't the purpose of my question. Having put them in- how can I remove them?
If I click on the button to edit, I only get a single alyer bitmap image of the
button to edit. How do I edit the pop-ups and alter the text on an individual
instance of the button?
