Text to Columns Question
Im missing something. If I use the wizard the text text gets sliced up because
it some rows line up with other rows. I need to get bigger spacing so I can
put the divider lines in.

Since you have the starting point of each field, it should be trivial to use
the built-in text functions to parse it out.
Or you could use the Data/Text-to-Columns wizard and use a fixed width for each
field -- i.e. 79 characters for field 1 and so forth since each field, from
your description, will always start at a fixed point.
For formulas:
Field1: =trim(left(record,60))
Field2: =trim(mid(record,80,11))
Field3: =trim(mid(record,100,6))
and so forth.
