Your drawing style may be set to GIS. GIS drawing style is zoom independent, so the annotations/symbol sizes will stay the same size no matter how far in or out you zoom. To change to CAD drawing style (scaled), click the drawing style button at the top of the Element Symbology manager (Tools > Element Symbology) and choose “CAD”. You can also adjust the text and symbol sizes under Tools > Options > Drawing.
