Photoshop text tool not working

[moldyoldy1]

Hi there,

I may be going mad but half way through today my text tool in Photoshop isn't doing what I expect. I can select the tool and place it and type but no text appears only a very small highlighted square. I've changed text size, colour and all the bits in the "character" and "paragraph" section. Does anyone know if I've accidentally clicked something. I've posted a screengrab of the above in action here

. Can anyone tell me where I'm being an idiot?

Thanks
Matt

OK nothing like posting on a site to focus the mind - I'd got baseline shift blank rather than 0 which seemed to be making it go funny - you would think that it would default to 0 when blank though....anyway...
