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.

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
