Word (by default) puts shapes in a static/relative position line with text and makes it hard to move shapes around without changing the text wrapping setting for individual shapes.
Excel (by default) puts shapes in a absolute position that can be freely moved around and repositioned.
PowerPoint does the same thing with shapes but there isn't a grid to draw on top on.
