Default Splitting a cell into two...


Louise,

If they are always separated by a space you can use the Text to Columns
feature. Select the cell or range with your name (s). Go to Data menu,
Text to columns. In step 1 select the Delimited option and click next.
In step 2 select the Space option. This will put a line between your
names where a space occurs. Click next. Select the format in step 3
and click Finish.

HTH

Steve
