Problem: unable to get layers to stay in place. I have a table broken into a
number of cells, each of which has a thumbnail image plus a couple lines of
brief text summarizing items for sale. When an item is sold I want to
superimpose the word "Sold" over the thumbnail and text. I can create this
effect both with a layer and/or WordArt; but no matter how I go about it the
layer or wordart shifts out of the cell whenever the monitor's resolution is
changed. This of course is problematic since "Sold" will then move atop an
unsold item. In "design view" I have tried to put the base layer--the
thumbnail and text--in its own layer: "layer 1"; and the WordArt in "layer
2"; then, for "Position..." I select "Relative" for layer 1. Everything then
looks and works great at any resolution UNTIL you hit "preview" or "preview
in browser," at which time both layers pop out of the cell to some arbitrary
position on the page. Does anyone know how to lock the base items AND layer
in place within a cell so that it remains locked there at any resolution??
