I have several text boxes on my page. I am trying to align them and move
them around and connect them. When I move certain ones, another one will
move up and off the page. Or if I try to move one, it will not move to where
I want it to move. And then another text box may dissapear from my screen.
How can I control this?

Make sure you have checked the "Allow overlap" box in the Advanced dialog of
Format | Text Box | Layout.
