Default Parseing Text strings

I need to take a text string that has a Stock Option description in a
text string (i.e. ADM Dec 2006 40.0000 put). I want to divide up the
text string and have each word in its own cell. I can not figure out
how to do it. Problems arise b/c the stock symbol can have one to four
characters (i.e. X or MSFT).

What is the best way to do it so it automatically does it? I would
prefer to use some sort of function that counts the spaces and gives
the next word or something like that.

DM
