Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
It has to do with backward compatability with previous systems. The 1904 system was designed to be compliant with MAC systems.
Dates before 1904 were not supported on MAC systems. I believe MAC wanted to avoid the fact that there is a missed leap year previous to 1904 i.e. 1900.

That's right. & Excel was written first for Mac and the programmers avoided that Lotus 1-2-3 date glitch.
