On my pages that I am working on in frontpage, I have
pictures that I have set so that I can move them wherever
I want, not just left, right, or center. I place them
where I want them in relation to my text and save the
page. When I view the pages in internet explorer and try
to print them, the pictures go wherever they feel like and
totally through off all the formatting. Is there a way to
lock the pictures in place so that they don't move, or to
make them so that they move with the text? I have tryed
and tryed to fix this and am really getting annoyed.
Please help! Thanks!

Exactly. Absolute Positioning is an oxymoron.

If you physically locate the picture outside of any
container (such as a table, div, or span), and then set
its position, the picture will stay where you put it
regardless of browser, text size, window size, or other
factors. If, however, the rest of the page adapts itself
in any way to current conditions, then the picture and its
surrounding content will be off.

Really, the best approach is to stick with tables and with
left, right, and center alignment.
