Hey, that's quite sneaky Dave.
I would never have thought about entering control characters into the
number format.
Very effective.

You can use format|cells|number tab

Give it a custom format of:
dddd(alt-0010)dd mmmm yyyy

Hit and hold the alt key while typing 0010 on the numeric keypad--not
above the
QWERTY keys.

And turn on wrap text
format|cells|alignment tab

But be aware that you'll have to adjust the rowheight yourself
(autofitting
won't work).

And if you make the cell too narrow for the whole string (not after
wrapping
text), you'll see ###'s.

====
Another format to consider:
dddd* dd mmmm yyyy
This works pretty neat when you widen the column.

Hello Fellow Excellers.
When I enter a date in a cell and give it a long format. e.g. dddd dd
mmmm
yyyy, so that it would read Monday 1 January 2006, then the wrap text
facility does not work.
Is there any way to put in an 'alt-enter' type character so that I
could
have the Monday on the first line and the rest underneath.
