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.
