I can't see inside boxes when writing email; boxes don't show up, lines are missing, options for fonts, colors, backgrounds are all blank. Many words overlap making them difficult to read.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

I have followed all of the advice I have been given. It does prevent words from overlapping, but I can't read such small writing. The missing lines and graphics are still gone. I can't even see previews of backgrounds or font colors becase everything is blank. Please help! Barb
