I have a spreadsheet report generated by a survey software package, and it
has placed many answers for different questions into one cell in excel.
These answers are separated by a colon.

is it possible to "find and replace" in someway so that i can separate out
the cells with words with colons between them, into several cells?

Sorry this sounds confused, it is hard to explain. but basically i have
cells like,

Tree:plant:grass:house
all in one cell.

but i want each of these words in a different cell.
