  the file's level table, font table and all other tables.

Let’s say you wanted to look at each of these elements before letting FileFixer fix them automatically. You would start Problem Element Viewer for V8/XM and select fixer.rep. Problem Element Viewer for V8/XM will instantly zoom in on the element and display the FileFixer error message associated with the element. To zoom in a little closer, just click the “Zoom In” button. To zoom out a little further, just click the “Zoom Out” button.
