THanks very much! -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Paul Millner [OAK] Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 7:53 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: separating parts of a text string in Excel >> I need to get the 3 parts into separate cells so I can re-combine them into another format (without manually cutting and pasting= hundreds of email addresses) << The way I've done that is in Word... import the file into word, do a CHAN= GE to replace the spaces with tabs, import to XL and the tabs cause the fiel= ds to be segregated... Simplistic, but it works for 95% of the entries... but even a macro will probably require some manual clean up. Unless you want to write a PERL script...
