Default Excel 2000 - Split Contents of Cell Across Multiple Cells

Try TTC (Text To Columns) again!

Use "delimited" and then check "other" in the next page of the wizard,
And in the "other" box enter the carriage return by holding down <Alt
and type
0010
Using the numbers from the num keypad, *not* the numbers under the function
keys.

In the Data Preview window, you should then see your data split as you wish.

The Name and address appear in one cell with a return at the end of each
line.

Assuming
John Public
123 Main Street
Anytown, State 00000
appear on A1:A3
and the next person is on A4:A6 of Sheet1

On Sheet2 in A1 enter =Sheet1!A1; in B1 =Sheet1!A2, in C1 =Sheet1!A3
On Sheet2 in A2 enter =Sheet1!A4; in B2 =Sheet1!A5, in C2 =Sheet1!A6
Copy A1:C2 down the page for as many rows as there are names (rows in
Sheet1
divided by 3)
Now use Data | Text to Column on stuff in C column
best wishes

How can I split the contents of a cell across multiple cells. I tried
using
the Text to Columns option in Excel which works, but I have over 200
cells
that need to be corrected. The data in the cell appears as:

John Public
123 Main Street
Anytown, State 00000

I need to appear as:

John Public 123 Main Street Anytown State
00000

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
