When the Text to Columns Wizard comes up, in the de-limited by "other" box
enter a CR by holding the ALT key and hitting 0010 or 0013 on the NumPad.

This should break up your data.

If no joy with these steps......

Download Chip Pearson's CELLVIEW add-in from

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CellView.htm

Load through ToolsAdd-ins.

Select the data and Chip's add-in will show you what the characters are.

is in Excel I don't see a delimiter like a carriage return or enter. am I
missing something? Mindy
