Text to Colums
 

Hi guys,

I have 23 k records

The colum are names like Mr John Smith, Brad Brown and Mrs Sarah Jones

When i use text to colums it obviously puts

Colum A
Mr
Brad
Mrs
Colum B

John
Brown
Sarah

Colum C

Smith
Jones

The Mr and Mrs are in the same colum as Brad which would be incorrect
as the Mr and Mrs are salutations and Brad is a first name

Anyway of putting them in the correct colums??

Thanks!!

Text to Colums
 

So i've just thought of finding all the Mr, Mrs etc and getting rid of
them as a last resort.. (even though i would like to keep them) except
when you do a find and replace, it replaces them with a space... so
when you do the text to colums it puts the space in its own colum.. so
the names are all over the place...
