Default How do I insert spaces between characters

Dear All,

I have a column of data containing Initials and I want to insert a space
after each initial except the last one. Note that the number of initials
differ (e.g. some have 1, 2, 3 or 4 initials). What is the quickest way of
doing this?

Regards
