I have a Christmas Card list that was created using a single cell for the
whole address. Street, City, Zip/Postal etc. I need to split those
components out into separate cells in order to do a proper mail merge. Is
there any way to do this. I am not completely unfamiliar with macros but I
if that is the solution I would require a fair bit of hand holding.

Thanks

If you actually used commas to separate the fields (and none of the fields
contain commas), you could select the column and do:

Data|text to columns
delimited
comma

Remember to keep enough open columns to the right so you don't overwrite any
info.

If you didn't use commas, maybe you could use delimited by space.

But if you have a city like:
King of Prussia, Pa

this won't work as well.
