>> 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...
