position of autoshape when viewed in browser is different

I use Front page 2003. When I inserted a cloud callout pointing to a certain
object it was not in the same position when I viewed it in the browser it had
moved and I cannot get it to stay in this position. Please help

Callouts use VML graphics and a sort of absolute positioning (absolutely
positioned with respect to the top left of the page, whereas normal
absolute positioning is with respect to the objects positioned
container). The callout will ALWAYS be in the same place in the page,
however there is no guarantee that anything else in the page will stay
still. Additionally, browsers other than Internet Explorer may not
render the callout anyway.
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/VML-graphics.htm for reasons
why VML should be avoided in web sites.

The only way you can place the callout and object together, and
guarantee to keep them together, is to make them the same graphic.

The VML call out is still positioned relative to the top left corner of
the page. If you create the call out in a graphics editor and save as
..gif or .jpg, then you could associate the two images with tables - but
how close the association stays may depend on the rest of the page
layout
