I built my site on front page 2003. I viewed the site on several computers
and it appeared fine but on a couple of computers things were moved around.
The auto shapes that I inserted seemed to move down and right on the page and
some pictures were moved.
Why is this happening and what do I do about it???
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Autoshapes are Absolutely Positioned VML graphics.
There are two problems here:

1) Absolute positioning means exactly that - the graphics will not move
relative to the top left corner of the browser window. But the rest of
the page can move around them, as users change the browser portal size,
or change the text size. This gives the appearance that the graphics
are moving around the page - in reality the page is moving around the
graphics.

2) VML will only display correctly in Internet Explorer - other
browsers will see a poor quality representation of the VML, or nothing
at all.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/vml-graphics/ for more details
regarding avoiding VML in web sites.
