I'm fairly new to using frontpage.

Sometimes when I save a web page I've been working on, the formatting will
change....ex// text will move, graphics jump to the opposite sides of the
page. I'm not sure what's causing this, but any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Also, I've noticed when I save a page and go online to check it, some
graphics will be missing. Again, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Source code or URL to the page would help. Chances are you might be
floating or aligning text to one side

Sounds like a path problem. if you are working on a *NIX box, the file
names are also case sensitive - image.jpg is not the same as image.JPG
 
What I find strange though is this only is happening to one page (the saving,
and then everything moving). All the others seems to be ok.

Also, now when I go see the website online to view it, everything is jumbled.

Here is the website: ommi.on.ca

I'm not sure what it will look like to you, but everything is out of
alignment for me.
 
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/VML-graphics.htm for reasons
why VML (text-boxes, wordart, other objects from the drawing toolbar)
should not be used on a web page.

In particular, http://ommi.on.ca/fire_prevention_specialization.htm
looks very bad in FireFox - it needs colour specifications for text and
background, and the text boxes are rendered very badly.

In other pages, the down level .gif representation of your pages (which
are images anyway) does not help.

The biggest problems with using images are:
Text cannot be resized (I find your chosen text size to be a bit on the
small side.)
It takes forever to load the page - though this is much faster in
FireFox, since the much lower quality image loads faster.
Links on page do not work. These links (in the footer) do work in the
above URL since they are not in an image.

Get rid of the text boxes and use tables (or floated divs) for layout,
and most of your problems will be solved.
