Moving text boxes

I haven't used front page much before and I have been asked to make some
pages which include a lot of mathematical formulae. The only way I have been
able to do this is using text boxes and lines which I have drawn using the
line tool to show the formulae properly e.g. 1/E = 1/9K However when I
position the text boxes and lines and save the document they are all in the
right place, but as soon as I re-open the document they have all moved so the
formulae make no sense. I have tried grouping all of the text boxes and lines
together but it doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the
problem? I know the question isn't very technical and I haven't explained it
brilliantly but I hope someone can help!

Thanks
 
Don't use these boxes. They don't show up well on some browsers. Consider
using maybe tables to help you layout your website at least
 
Set up your formulae in a graphics editor, save the resulting image as a
transparent .gif and use that in the web page.
Text boxes and lines produced from the drawing toolbar use VML graphics,
which will only render in Internet Explorer. They also use absolute
positioning which will cause problems when text and/or browser portals
are resized.
