Importing pictures without losing colours (Fireworks)

It seems to be a trend lately, but why not. If you, like myself, use Fireworks, here's how you export images to be compatible with RPG Maker.
Once your image is ready to be saved, go to File->Image Preview. In older versions it may be File->Export Preview. A box will pop up, showing your final image and giving you a bunch of options. Only a few of them are important (And boxed in red in the attacked screenshot)
Format - Must be set to PNG 8 to be imported.
Palette - This is not boxed, but you can use anything in it (Colors may change, so find one you like)
except Exact. Do not set this to Exact.
Dropdown With 256 in It - This box is the amount of colors you want the image to have - some images only need 8 or 9 colors and setting this lower would normally lower the filesize, but for our purposes this must stay at 256.
Dropdown With No Transparency in It - This is what you would use to add things like regular single-color transparency or fading alpha-transparency. This time set it to No Transparency.
Remove Unused Colors Checkbox - This one is very important. You MUST make sure this is unchecked. This took me a while to figure out myself.
For palette, Adaptive ususally comes up with the best colors. Set all these options and click Export, save you file, and wahbam.
