Hello Steve,
The first time I tried your suggestion within my file and I believe
because
the scanned data file, I had a little problem. After I copied the 2200
record column into a test file, everything worked out just great. I had
a
bit of work correcting the data, but it was nothing compared to if I had
to
first all the numbers manually and then remove the numbers from the name
column.
I want you to know, I really appreciated your input to my problem!
Thanks again,
Oswin

As long as the data is in some consistant format
like number space name
or each number is of a fixed width
The click on the column, Data, Text to Columns...

Then either split the text on space or after a particular column in the
data

Remember it will overwrite the columns to to the right
suggest you add in a couple of blank ones - delete unwanted ones
afterwards

I have over 2000 lines of a tag # number plus a dog name in one
column in
excel 2003 which I scanned in. Can anyone tell me if I can edit the
numbers
into another column automatically??? The entire column in one edit
operation??? The tag # into another column. Other than re-typing
each
line.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Oswin
