I have a column of phone numbers that look like this:
"Bureau: (212) 320-3750Direct: (212) 320-3624Outlet: (212) 320-3750

When I copy it to a Word Document, it looks like this:
"Bureau: (212) 586-2000
Direct: (212) 830-2502
Outlet: (212) 586-2000
"
How can I put these in separate columns?


I assume that your column of phone numbers actually looks like this:
Bureau: (212) 586-2000
Direct: (212) 830-2502
Outlet: (212) 586-2000

and that you wish to split the words and the numbers into 2 separate
columns:

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1))
