Why is the text in my inbox showing up as Capital A inside a box?

The text in my inbox looks like this . . .  I tried to copy / paste it here, but it showed up with the real text.  However, in my emails all text is rows of A inside of square boxes. This just started this afternoon. Older emails appear as they should.
I just downloaded Microsoft Office and tried to uninstall my old copy of Office which I had transferred from my old iMac to my new iMac. Don't know if this is the cause or not. I noticed it when I tried to read the email from Microsoft acknowledging my download. I think there was a response from me expected by them, but not sure because I can't read the email.
What do I do now?

I am using Apple Mail.  For some reason it is working right again. Who knows why!
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.  Even though you didn't sollve my problem, I appreciate the effort!

  • Why is the text not the visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?

    Long story short:
    I've created a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and saved it as PDF. With the .pdf open now in Acrobat Reader 9.4.1 I have enabled the protection over the .pdf file by only allowing Printing and saved the protected .pdf. All of these actions are made on Windows 7 machine. Now when trying to open the protected .pdf on Mac (with Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Preview) the .pdf opened only shows the lines and bullets but not the text.
    Why is the text not visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?
    (is this bug or a "feature"?)
    Note: the protected .pdf looks good on Windows 7 and it works on Mac if the .pdf has no protection.
    Thanks!

    A. What application are you using to add the protection? Reader cannot add any file security and I don't think the PDF feature of Word will either.
    B. Mac Preview has issues with PDF standards so there may be some features that you will experience issues with that have no workarounds.
    C. Have you checked the file after adding security to see if all fonts are embedded?

  • Why is the text different sizes?

    Hi,
    The text with this browser shows different sizes of text on a web page? Some is normal, then some is tiny. I you pinch the page up to read the tiny text, the normal text goes very large. It ruins reading a web page. Why does this happen, and is there anything I can do about it? It is particularly difficult when on a forum.
    Thankyou.

    Hello,
    Try change the minimum text size in your firefox:

    TL/DR If your item has not arrived from Asia by 30 days after cleared payment, go to the Resolution Centre and open an Item Not Received Claim. If the seller cannot prove delivery, you will be refunded.  

  • Why is the text going over the image????

    Please refer to video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rN6Ndm9sFo&feature=youtu.b
    Why is the text going over the image when the text layer is below the image layer?? It is so frustrating.

    Are you sending the texts to his phone number or his Apple ID? It might be that the texts originated from your phone is to his Apple ID and not his phone number and his Apple ID was not registered for the Message app on his phone. So any texts to his Apple ID is not received by his phone.
    Can you receive his texts? If yes, then reply back from what he send you and see if he can receive the texts.

  • Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Hi amedah,
    Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
    It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
    Is the PDF scanned?
    Let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha

    Why is the text bubble sometimes green and sometimes blue when I text to the same person/number who has an iPhone 4s?

    Not necessarily an iPhone but rather if they have iMessage support at the address you're using.
    If you're using an email address they could have an iOS device or a Mac.

  • Why is the text so small in the log in screen?

    I am visually-impaired.  Why is the text so small in the log in screen?

    You can try to set the display resolution to something like 1024x768 (from the "Best for display") in the "Displays" System Preferences - this will "enlarge" things on the login screen as well as after, (the trick about using the Option key to zoom does not work on the login screen), and then after logging in, reset the Display resolution back to "Best for display".
    To use the "Option" key for zooming -- set in the "Accessibility" System Preference Zoom options "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom" to Option.
    Not sure, but you might also be able to affect this by changing the default system font. If the above doesn't help, say so and will do a bit more research to see how to change this and see if it also applies to the login screen
    Good luck...

  • The text in pages isnt showing unless I highlight it, What can I do in order to see it while I type?

    the text in pages isnt showing unless I highlight it, What can I do in order to see it while I type?

    Let me guess as you haven't supplied the information. You have bought iWork dvd or serial number. Have installed it but you have forgotten to do the Software updates for it. Click on the Apple menu and choose Software update check.

  • When I open a pages doc why does the text not show but the preview in Finder shows the text?

    Doc shows a blank page but shows the number of pages at the bottom and flickers the text when I click on Outline icon.

    In most cases it is because you have not updated Pages to the current version.

  • Why is the text not showing up on the form fields?

    I recently had Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my computer. Sometimes I receive documents that have text missing from the fields. I do not have the option to "fix fields" under EDIT? One other person in my office has this option and the text will appear. We seem to have the same version so I'm not sure how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Many applications can be user modified and have additional tools or add  ins add to the program. And example is the PDF Maker added to MS Office.
    You will need to add the code to fix the fields and add a menu item option to call the function.
    Script to Fix Mac OSX Preview.app Form Fill and Save
    The code for adding the menu item is custom for the function name.
    Does your co-worker know how or who installed the code and can you get them to add the code to your system?

  • Why are the text and graphic elements are not showing on the iPad

    I have a slideshow of pictures full bleed on my inDesign document with text and graphics on top of the pictures (not part of the slideshow).
    When I preview on the iPad all I can see is the gallery of images?
    Is it not possible to put text on top of a slideshow?
    Here it is as it appears on InDesign...
    ...and here as it appears on the iPad...
    Any ideas? I'm pretty new at this, but I couldnt find anything in the forums
    Many thanks for reading

    They're called overlays for a reason. You'll need to change the text to an MSO as well.
    Select it, create a new MSO, set it to play once no delay, no crossfade.
    Other choice would be to put the text into each state of the MSO.

  • Why is the text on itunes squashed and compacted?

    For some reason, all of the text on itunes is very small and overlap each other. Not sure why this happens but it is very annoying and blocks some of the features. The picture is an example of what I mean.

    Another example from the Stairlifts.html page where <b>&lt;font&gt;&lt;u&gt;....&lt;font&gt;&lt;u&gt;</b> appears and even if corrected wouldn't be closed in the correct order.
    <pre><nowiki><div id="Grtf338" class="dfltc">
    <center><h1><font color="991c1d" size="5" face="arial black"><u>BRUNO STAIRLIFTS<font><u></h1>
    </div>
    </nowiki></pre>
    This should be with the second <b>&lt;font&gt;&lt;u&gt;</b> changed to <b>&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</b>
    <pre><nowiki>
    <div id="Grtf338" class="dfltc">
    <center><h1><font color="991c1d" size="5" face="arial black"><u>BRUNO STAIRLIFTS</u></font></h1>
    </div>
    </nowiki></pre>
    Also note that font-family: "Arial Black" may require font-weight:900 to work properly in some cases
