Default search and extract within text

I have to a cell "A" holding full description of an item, the description
can be as long as 80 characters. I need to break the descritption into 3
separate columns, with the one column holding the first 30 characters,
second column 20 characters, and last column 30 characters. Each column must
have complete nouns only, I cannot pull partial words from the description
(A) column.

thank you.
