Autoshapes, Word versions place in different locations

Puzzling me is why word 2000 and 2003 handle autoshapes differently when
used as I am:

A main document has other docs (I'll ref as subdocs) inserted into it
via code like this:

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("InsertStudyTemplate").Select
Selection.InsertFile FileName:=strPath & strFileName, _
Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, _
Attachment:=False

The subdocs contain plain text and sometimes Autoshapes - basically
lines that are under some phrases that serve as titles.

When viewed with Word 2000, all autoshapes are where they're supposed to
be. When viewed with Word 2003, all autoshapes have moved up about four
lines...which I'm sure relates to the four line table that I have just
above the insertion point of the subdoc. In word 2003, essentially the
autoshapes are placed at in the main doc at the place that they should
be placed in the sub doc.

In both versions of word, if I look at the subdocs themselves, the
autoshapes are in the correct location.

I have changed the autoshapes from In line with text to square and
others, and that didn't have any effect. The point of insertion is a
bookmark inside a table.

No clues on this? I have users that are starting to move to Word 2003
and the different formatting is going to be a major issue soon.
