Default separate into two columns

=IF(LEN(A1)35,TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,35)-1)),A1)

and

=IF(LEN(A1)35,TRIM(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1,35)+1,99)),"")

I need to take information in a spreadsheet (mailing list) and separate the
title columns into two columns because the title is too long.
Deputy Manager - Investment Fund - Vice President - Clients Relations &
Media & Communications
Want it to be:
Title 1 = Deputy Manager - Investment Fund - Vice President
Title 2 = Clients Relations & Media & Communications
Is there a formula that will move words into another column if the line
exceeds say 30 or 40 characters. Also can it do it without truncating a
word.
