Default Take first word out of cell and put it in a new cell

Thanks Bob, but that only copies the word. I want to cut it out of the cell
rather than copy it. Any other suggestions?

I have a list of data and I want to remove the first word of each cell in
one
column and put it in a separate column. Is there a formula for this?
