questions on slices

I have 2 questions on using slice tool.

1. Is it possible to create multiple sets of slices for different
screens? I have some areas that do not change but content area changes
depending on screen. If I add slices or delete slices, it's permanently
changed. I would like to have different slices so that I can turn on
and off depending on which HTML pages I'm generating. Is there an
option to do that? If not can Fireworks do that?

2. set the image format to output for slices. Some may be better with
GIF and others may be better with JPG. I thought I could do that in
Photoshop 7 but I can't find it in CS2. I can't find that option.

Thanks for the help,

cpliu

I do that with javascript. If you find an easier way, let me know.

With CS2, yes. Create your slices. Take Save-For-Web. You can click on each
slice to save various slices as GIF or JPEG (for example) with various
compressions. One Save does the trick. It's quite good.
