At this time, there is not a way to lock items to a specific location within Inspiration. One tool that may help, though, is the "Group" tool. This tool will allow you to group symbols together in a static group. Though they can be moved around, they will always stay in the same position relative to each other, and their text contents cannot be edited.
To use the Group tool, begin by selecting the symbols you wish to make into a group. Once they are selected, go to the Symbol menu and choose "Group". To ungroup them, go back to the Symbol menu and choose "Ungroup". This visually creates a similar Diagram setup as the Super Grouper in Kidspiration, however, the hierarchy will not be represented the same in Outline view, as it is with the Kidspiration Super Grouper.
Please, contact me directly if I can be of further assistance.
