Why can't I view the contents of a cell?

[MOE26]

Someone e-mailed a worksheet to me and it appears blank but if I click on a
cell I see the contents in the formula bar above, they just don't appear in
the worksheet itself. Anyone know why?

Perhaps the text color has been set the same as the background color?

MOE26 -

Check for (1) text color same as background color or (2) custom format of
three semicolons.

And one more...

Maybe it's hidden via Format|conditional formatting.
