Tables vs Frames for segmenting text and pictures

[sap1958]

I used a table to segment pictures and text on microsoft frontpage 2003. On a 15 inch screen the page looks fine. On a larger screen the table stretches and the pictures and text look different. My understanding is that frontpage does not allow you to create your own frames. Is there a way to create a table and then convert it to layers (like dreamweaver)?? See

on a large screen monitor as an example.
