This issue will result if the default Windows font size DPI (dots per inch) setting is set to Large size (120 DPI) in Windows XP or Large Fonts in
Windows 2000. To work around this issue, you must reduce your default
Windows font size DPI setting. You can return the fields to their
original size by editing the layout after reducing your DPI setting as
described below. After saving the layout, you may then return to the
larger DPI setting until you wish to edit the layout again.
For instructions on how to reduce your default Windows® font size
DPI setting, please follow the steps for your Operating System below.
