Many thanks.
This is a lot further than I would of got.
I would still like a solution if possible for the way described, as I would
like to use it in other items, but your formula does work on this occasion.

I am forever grateful and in your debt.

Assuming dates entered in A1 down

Put in B1:
=TEXT(A1,"dddd")&CHAR(10)&TEXT(A1,"dd mmmm yyyy")
Format B1 to wrap text & copy B1 down
Col B will return the desired display

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.

Your help is and always has been very much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
