Mark:

Unless this is hand-written or done on a typewriter, it's probably reported
from a database somewhere. I don't think the City is so stone-age as to
maintain non-computerized records, are they? Somehow they are outputting a
Word-format report. Can the database they are using output a csv report?
I'd check there first.

I need to get a macro/vb script/program that can convert something like

To convert it to a csv or xls like this :

BusinessName|Address|Date|Owner|Phone|City|ST|ZIP

This way it can be used for mail lists or DB mining.

The city says this is the only way they can export the info..

Any help is appreciated.. If someone would like to write a script to
strip
the file I would be interested in that as well.

Thanks.
