Thanks for posting back - it helps to have this in both the groups and
the archives!

This also happens to me on a regular basis, but my Excel startup folder
is empty. Any suggestions?

Does it happen if you start Excel and create a brand new file? Sometimes a
file gets corrupted and will 'contaminate' other files if you open Excel by
double clicking on it. Save the data and paste it into a new file. Trash the
original and it might solve your problem.

(The text is actually there only it's white. double click the tab as if you
are editing it and it will show up until you stop editing it)

Maybe.

Once they disappear, they're gone on any document I work with,
including new worksheets. I have to quit Excel, restart it with a blank
document, and then open the file with the open command to get the
tabs to reappear (and then I can close the blank document). I'm
guessing this means it's not a corruption of the file itself?

And yes, the tabs are still there (and show up when I try to edit them),
so it's just an annoyance.
