One way would be to insert the shapes as In line with text, rather than
letting them float.
However, when I insert even floating shapes into table, they stay put. If
you right-click a shape after inserting it, and choose Format AutoShape,
Layout tab, what is the setting? Click Advanced... Picture Position tab...
what are the settings there?
