That's unusual. Could you post the exact code and data you are using? I
will be hitting the road shortly but someone else may be able to figure it
out.

That worked great for the most part. When I ran a test to the text
that I am working with I found that the following happened.

when the numbers changed to something like "1.4.0 This is an example.
That I need to break down"

I get "1.4" "This is an example" "That I need to break down"

It is droping the .0
Any Ideas on how I would be able to keep it.
Thanks in advance

Dim s As String

s = "1.2.3 This is an example. That I need to break down"
FirstPart = Split(s, " ", 2)(0)
OtherParts = Split(Split(s, " ", 2)(1), ".")

FirstPart returns a single string
OtherParts returns a (zero-based) array

I am hoping that someone can offer help with this matter.

I have the following text that I need to break into separate columns to
get the sentences separated:
"1.2.3 This is an example. That I need to break down"

What I get when I do a texttocolumn using the "." as the separator:
"1" "2" "3" "This is an example" "That I need to
break down"

What I am trying to get is:
"1.2.3" "This is an example" "That I need to break down"

Is there someway of breaking the "1.2.3" out first?

Thanks for any help.
