Still need help

[Lawrence Beyer]

I recently re-installed FP 2003, but because of problems
I went to Add/Remove Programs and ran the FP 2003
repair program. No help.
I type a short line in 8 point, and under it the same short
line in 36 point. They are the correct size in Design, but
when I go to Preview, both lines are identical in size (a
medium size). I Save and Preview in Browser (IE) and
same as Preview, both lines the same size. If I vary the size
in IE, the type gets larger and smaller, like it should, but
both lines are still identical.
Now here is something very strange (I hadn't looked at
Code since I got this problem, but now I looked).
Previously I looked at Code and it was normal size. Now
the Code is tremendous in size. Each line is an inch high!
Four lines fills the screen top to bottom. The Code does
show the correct type size for each line.
I have been going through my reference books, but I
don't have a clue.

If your code view size is that large, sounds like a video card issue or corrupt IE
Run a Repair on IE
(see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=318378 )
Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, MS Office and your Video card

It's not easy running a repair on IE. Under "Help" it says to repair
by uninstalling and reinstalling IE. (IE is not listed under Add or
Remove Programs). So I then went to the support/microsoft site you
gave and it says to repair I should insert my Windows XP (home ed.)
CD. When I tried to install I got a message saying I had a different
edition on my computer (Service Pack 2), and I would have to remove
everything added (and lose lots of files) to install from the CD.
Suggestions?

Well, if it's too much trouble to get your stuff working, then you shouldn't
bother.
