Using a formula How to i divide it up at the thrid word so that in one
cell is

251 High St
and in the other is
Kangaroo Flat VIC 3555

I have a lot of address and need to mail merge them into word

Thanks

Andrew

Dividing up cells
 

One method,

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",MID(A1,(FIND(" ",MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99))+FIND("
",A1)+1),99))+FIND(" ",MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99))+FIND(" ",A1))

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",MID(A1,(FIND(" ",MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99))+FIND("
",A1)+1),99))+FIND(" ",MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99))+FIND(" ",A1)+1,99)

but I would doubt that all of your addresses would split evenly on 3
words, so you will need to examine your data.

Dividing up cells
 

you could look for words like street, drive, road, avenue, way, close,
and use these to decide where to split your address field.
