If you are trying to format formulae (and not enter valid Mathematica 
expressions), try using CTRL-<Enter> and CTRL-, and replace some of the 
boxes with spaces.

If you wish to generate the formula programmatically with SparseArray[], 
then do something like

sm = SparseArray[{i_, i_} -> i, {10, 10}];

Normal[sm] /. 0 -> "" // MatrixForm

(Note the space between /. and 0)
