When i create a diagram in Visio, the pictures are fine, but the
wording that i enter under each picture is the problem.

What happens is, that while i am typing the quote for the product type
i can see the lettering just fine, but when i click out of that typing
box the letters get blurred out to the point where you cant see them,
all that you see is dots covering the letters but the picture is
fine. if i enlarge the picture to many times over the 100% viewing
the words come in, but i need them to show at 100% when i am working
and when someone else views the diagrams when i send them out

Everything was fine up until a few days ago and now everything is
wacked out. I tried detect and repair, no luck, trine uninstalling,
rebooting, than reinstalling the program, but i still get the same
problem


menu Tools - Options - View tab
and set the "Greek text under" to 0 (the default is 4, I think).
It sounds to me as if you got this set to a very high value
It's nothing to do with the Greek language, it's just printing jargon
for making very small text into blobs, called greeking.
