Text higher than the row height, don't want it trimmed

Hi there,

I would like to have 3 small rows and have the text to fill those 3 rows. I can't merge them because I would like to have 3 different colors in the background.

Check at the attached file, see how the text is trimmed in the row 4 ?

I have added over the image (in red) what I want the text to look like. Is there a way to tell the row 4 to expand the text to the upper rows, like my red "Tuesday" example?

Thanks!! (By the way, I have Excel 2007)
