Step 1 - Create a new file in Fireworks.

Step 2 - Type some text on the canvas.

Step 3 - Select your text and locate the color changer in the properties window.

Step 4 - Click the color changer, instead of choosing a color click “Fill Options” on the bottom of the panel.

Step 5 - On the new box where it says “Solid”, drop that box down and select pattern.
