Default Splitting text and numbers from a cell

Hi,
I'm trying to split a cell that contains a part number and a part
description into a cell that contains the part number and a cell that
contains the part description. There are about 7,000 cells that need to be
separated this way. I tried the text to columns wizard but that is very
labor intensive since some part numbers have spaces and letters in them.
Example:
124 TD45 88 Ceramic Insulators
12 671 6773 Copper Coils
116011 Variable Resistors

I got as far as the formula =MID(A1,1,FIND(" ",A!,1)-1)
but that only returns the first group of letters ("124", "12", "116011") how
can I extract "124 TD45 88", "12 671 6773", and "116011" into their own cells
and "Ceramic Insulators", etc. into their own cells?

Thanks for your help,
Jim
