just for the heck of it, here's a solution just using search.

=MID(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1,1)+1,SEARCH(" ",A1,SEARCH(" ",A1,1)+1)-SEARCH("
",A1,1)-1)

How can I extract the second word in a cell into a cell? I don't
want the first word or any other words to go with it into the new cell
from
company name.
e. g. from AL BASSAM INTERNATIONAL FACTORIES extract BASSAM only.
Also I would like to know to extract only third word in case I may need
for
future alternatively.
