Going Crazy with excel[_2_]

Text to Column will not cooperate
 
Looking to separate two names in a cell, separated by a Hyphen.
It will not separate the names.
Is there a formula that will work to separate them?
Example:
george-smith


tim m

Text to Column will not cooperate
 
Text to columns should (just worked in my test).

Did you do 'text to columns'...'deliminated'...click in the 'other' box and
enter the hyphen in the small window next to it. It should work that way.
