Same thing ;) ish.
You should only use text boxes on forms etc-

If you used text boxes you would get somin like this-

I don't mean text boxes in the way that you have taken it. Your talking about HTML code text boxes. I'm talking about the text boxes that you can use in Frontpage and powerpoint etc.
I had the same problem with my site as was stated above. the text would come out all over the place on other peoples computers.
Put the text into textboxes and they hold the text in place.
This is an example of the html code for it. This is from my home page.

You did start off on your site with a table, its still there.(in your code above) If you had split your table up into cells you would not have the position problem. Its a known problem with frontpage.
Using layers and vml textboxes is a long winded and wrong solution to a problem that frontpage has created for you.
The bad news is as browsers get more w3c complient (http://www.w3.org/Consortium/ ) you will have to keep changing your code.
If you continue with frontpage dont use anything from the Drawing toolbar or the Positioning toolbar ....
Read though this thread about the same problem

I had tried using tables in the way that you are saying but found it too restricting on the layout. but then i am a novice at website design just found that the way i did it was easy
