hi
an example of your data would have been nice but wild guess...
text to columns.
add a blank column next to your column you want to "split". then on 2003
menu bar.....datatext to colunnsfollow the wizard.

No, but you can go the other way. Insert a column to the right of your ticket
# column, then merge the heading cells (cell containing "Ticket #" and new
blank cell). Or, instead of merging (which can cause issues with some
functions/macros, select the two cells, go to formatting, and then
horizontally align across selection.
