Frankly, this feature isn't as intuitive or useful as it might be. The
mindset, however, is that the layout table itself is a drawing surface that
you add to the page by dragging the mouse across an area.
Then, you switch to creating layout cells. In this mode, you drag the mouse
across a portion of the layout table to create containers (layout cells).
FrontPage positions the layout cell by adding, merging, and sizing cell in
the layout table.
Finally, then, you add your content inside the layout cells.
The effect is supposed to be like arranging text boxes in PowerPoint or
Publisher. The rub is that there aren't any drawing and positioning commands;
you can only drag objects and edges with the mouse.
