Default Text File to Excel Spreadshet

Hi Guys,

I have a text document which contains details of around 100 of individuals. I need to get it into a spreadsheet somehow.

The text is formated as follows

Name: Name 1
Age: Age 1
email address: email address 1
date of registration: date of registration 1
subscription expiry: subscription expiry 1
outstanding fee: Oustanding fee 1

Name: Name 2
Age: Age 2
email address: email address 2
date of registration: date of registration 2
subscription expiry: subscription expiry 2
outstanding fee: Oustanding fee 2

However the information is not uniform - if there is no outstanding fee or we don't have an email, the line will not exsist -

Name: Name 3
Age: Age 3
email address: email address 3
date of registration: date of registration 3
subscription expiry: subscription expiry 3

Name: Name4
Age: Age 4
date of registration: date of registration 4
subscription expiry: subscription expiry 4
outstanding fee: Oustanding fee 4


and so on. I've tried the standrad way of importing a text doc but as it is not in columns it doesn't work.

Is there any way of importing / formatting this infomation into a spreadsheet so the headings run across the top of the sheet and the data populates below?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Neil
