importing/exporting lists of names/addresses into and out of excel
 

Does anyone know how I would take a list of name and address information
(like phone book listings), scan/ocr it, and get it into a databse format or
at least ascii text file.

With some effort I can get it into Excel, but evrything is in Column A.
Name. address. city,state,zip fill in rows 1-5, then row 6 is empty, then
repeating, every 5 rows data, 6th empty. How do I let Excel know that every 6
rows is a new record so that I can export it as Ascii text.

Even better, does anyone know of any scanning software that allowa the setup
of many records per page so that it can be scanned and ocr'd directly into a
database? (again think of scanning one column of a page in a phone book
having it ocr'd with the result being 20 new records in a database (or
however many names are on a page))
