Not Sure How to Fix
 
http://www.officialenter.com/excel_.jpg

This shows a picture of the issue I am having.
How do I make this spreadsheet look the way that I am used to?
With each field having a cell, not having:
Field Name,"Last Name',"Home Phone" ect.

Hope this make sense, I am not even sure what or how to ask...
Thank you for helping a excel newbe,

Experiment with this:
Select the cell with the long string in it.
DataText-to-Columns
Select: Delimited and play with the settings.

Remember: EditUndo is your friend.

Does that help?

The picture is not very good, but you seem to have all the data in
column A, with commas separating the fields. To get all the data into
separate columns, highlight column A then Data | Text to Columns and
specify comma as the delimiter.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that seems to do the trick....
But how do I get rid of the commas and quotes?
Plus what do I do if I need to apply this to 5000 rows?

:(

Try selecting column A and using Data | Text to Column
You may also need to use Edit | Find and Replace to get rid of quotes
The picture was very small!!!

Highlight all the data (CTRL-A) then Edit | Find & Replace (or CTRL-H).
In the Find box enter the character(s) you want to find, and leave the
Replace With box empty, then click Replace All.

Hope this helps.

Pete
