Does anyone know why this would happen? The text size with the trace drawing enlarges....????

Are they different scale?
And can you turn text off in the trace reference?

If you trace reference a drawing via the Project Map the refered view will use the active views current settting (layers, scale, model view options, structure display, etc)

However if you trace reference a drawing via the View Map then the refered view will use its own settings (as saved with the view) for display.

So your image looks like you are referencing a drawing via the View Map which is at a much larger scale. If layers are not a problem then try referencing via the Project Map instead so your text will be at the same scale as your active drawing.
