Try these...

B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

C1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1&" ","")

--Select the range/column needs to be changed. From menu DataText to Columns
will populate the 'Convert Text to Columns Wizard'. By default the selection
is 'Delimited'. Keep the selection and hit 'Next'. From the Step2 of the
Wizard from the options select Space and hit Next. Hit Finish

--Another way (single formula). Try the below formula in cell B1 and copy
the same to cell C1.

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(" " & $A$1& REPT(" ",6),"
",REPT(CHAR(32),255)),COLUMNS($B$1:B$1)*255,25 5))
