Formatting woes with frames and tables

[Debbiedo]

I need to use both frames and tables in my Word (2003) document form.
It will be a protected document.

My frames are really giving me a headache. They do not line up well on
my document, especially when tables are immediately above and or below
them. And forget having two frames side by side. It is a logistical
nightmare. (I do need both as I am using frames to mimic radio
buttons, of which there are several sets.) The tables are needed to
enter additional data entry that require expandsion on occasion. The
frames need to look like they are part of the table, even though they
are not (because of VB programming constraints in tables)

Is there a secret to getting frames and tables to co-exist in
formatting harmony in Word?

Thank for any advice.

Displaying the document grid (click Grid on the Drawing toolbar) and
object anchors (View tab of Tools | Options) would be a good start. If
you are having problems fine-tuning the placement of a frame (or an
object), you can change the horizontal and vertical spacing for the
grid. Alternatively, hold the Alt key while dragging, to temporarily
override the settings.

Also, see the reply by Cindy Meister to your similar question in
