I have pasted some text from a web page into a worksheet.
It is written in the format;
Restaurant, Street, Town; Restaurant 2, Street, Town; Restaurant 3, Street,
Town
Currently it is all in one cell.
I would like to change it to be in three columns (restaurants, street,
town) and each entry (restaurant) on a separate row.
Any help is much appreciated.

I would suggest that in a text editor you replace the semi-colons (or
perhaps the semi-colon space sequence) by paragraph marks.
Then import the file into Excel specifying the comma as delimiter.

In addition to David's suggestion, in Word you can also replace the
comma by a tab (^t). The tab works as a column separator when feeding
back into Excel. Careful though with addresses that contain a comma
(eg for the house number).
