Default Setting spaces between text in a cell

Hi Erik,

With the text cells selected, try:

Data | Text to columns | Delimited | Next | Check the 'Space' option |
Next | Finish.

To remove leading or trailing spaces, use Excel's Trim function.

Can someone please tell me how to set a certain amount of spaces between
text
in a given cell? Here is what I have:

A1
Market Description
Tucson,AZ

What I want is:

A1
Market Descripton Tucson,AZ

All of the information is in cell A1. What I would also like to do after
setting the amount of spaces between each text, is move the second
category
to the next cell so it will look like this:

A1 A2 A3
Market Description Tucson,AZ

Maybe I could skip the "spaces" issue and just figure out a way to take
whatever text is set more than 2 spaces and move it to the next cell?
Any
answers?
