In that case, I'd suggest checking what cell styles are is use and whether there is any difference between the rows that format correctly and the rows that don't.

As for the question about combining cells, you could dispense with column B altogether and format coloumn A to show the day and date. You could also combine the data into a new column by, for example:
=A1&B1 (or =A1&B1&C1)
which you'd copy down as far as needed, then only print the column containing the combined data. The formula concatenates the data, so that the dates appear in the same cells as the diary entries.
