Greg,
I've attached a file here as an example. Download it and use the difference function on the upper text and the dark rectangle.
Then repeat with the lower text has been converted to a path.
I think this should clear things up.

Aaron,
In my very brief test using 0.45.1, I did not have to convert to a path. I just added a second text box to the image, used Difference, and again the text becomes "transparent" allowing the colour behind the rectangle to show through.
Maybe I'm missing something or using the wrong terminology??

Mick, Greg's approach is correct. I do have to edit his instructions just a bit, though.
- Create the rectangle and set its color
- Create the text and move it into place over the rectangle (use the
alignment tool to make it perfectly centered) - use control + shift + a to bring this short cut up quickly. 2a. Select just the text box and convert it to a path. You can use the command under the path menu or type ctrl + shift + c. 3. Select both the text box and the rectangle 4. Use the menu item Path >> Difference (or press Ctrl + -) If you don't complete step 2a, this won't work.
