Text is not showing up in cell. Why not?

[TomBrooklyn]

I type in text and it shows up in the "fx" box above and I can see text in
white when I hightlight a range of cells that contains this cell, but the
text doesn't show in the cell normally. The cell is formatted "General"
like a lot of other cells around it are that show text.

Make sure that the cell isn't formatted as white font on a white fill.
