Take first word out of cell and put it in a new cell
Just brilliant. That worked a treat. You have just saved me days of work -
I thought I would have to do it manually. Thank you so much to both of you.

Can you use two formula cells?
Use Bob's formula to get the first word.
Then use this formula to get the rest of the words.
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1))
If you wanted, you could convert both these columns of formulas to values
(edit|copy, edit|Paste special|values) and delete the original data.

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?
