Yeah, it probably means you didn't save it unless you did a "save as" and used a different file name.

There is nothing wrong.
I assume you are drawing full size in model space. That could explain why your text looks small by comparison. You have two choices assuming you want the text to remain in model space. 1) Scale the text or 2) Use annotative scaling. The annotative scaling option is really meant to be used if your title block and border will be going in a paper space layout and you would be using a viewport, in the layout, to see your model space objects (text included).
There is another option but it has to do with a paper space layout. All your geometry will go in model space BUT you place your text and dimensions in your paper space layout (remember you'll have to use a viewport to see what is back in model space). If you use this method you'll have to make sure your dimensions are "associative" (not the same as annotative). Your text and dimensions will be to real world height.

KC: Once again I will suggest you ignore what purti has written as it does not apply to your situation. Go to your other thread regarding this topic.
See how this (multiple threads) is starting to get more confusing?

Because your so called solution has nothing to do with the problem. Clear enough for you?
