Default Find & Replace Help

A customer of mine has imported some information into Excel. One of the
fields has imported as 3 seperate pieces of info in the same cell. Looks like
this in one cell:

"4/18/2005 1:37:32 PM KGOHL1
Approval not required for this change request.
4/20/2005 8:01:13 AM RMARGOL1
Because the status of all tasks is now Closed, the Change's status
automatically moved to Resolved.
4/20/2005 8:01:21 AM RMARGOL1
TaskTSK000000112258: done
"

We need to seperate the date and time out, ID, and comments into seperate
rows for each incident. How in the world do you do that? Thanks!

use Data | Text to columns... | Fixed length and mark the end of the date
and the beginning of the code/data. You'll get a blank column in between
but you can delete that.
