How to break up a cell with 3 embedded (new line characters) value
 

Hello,

I have a cell that has 3 values in it, and want to BREAK it up so that
instead, I will get 2 MORE NEW rows, for a total now of 3 rows. I believe
the values were inserted into the cell using the CTRL+ENTER key combination.
There is a non-printable character (ANSI 0010) visible in the EDIT window to
make the new line.

This is how it looks below, graphically speaking (Row 1 contains the col.
headings):

Col- A Col - B Col - C Col-D
Row-1 Tract_No Parcel_ID Owner
Row-2 8-5-012-045 251254 Floyd Daniels
7-5-065-012
8-6-045-012
Row-3 7-9-001-105 036584 James Clark
Row-4 8-5-900-012 214566 Mary Jones

As you can see, the 2nd row ACTUALLY contains 3
values in the same cell. So, if you navigated to cell B2, and to hit F2 and
look in the edit field above, it would look like this:

8-5-012-045
7-5-065-012
8-6-045-012

Where ALL 3 values are stacked up in the SAME cell window.

So what I WANT to do is to take the value that resides in B2, and create 2
NEW rows below it, then copy the other values from C2 and D2, and paste them
on the new 2nd and 3rd rows.

So my NEW output will look like this:

Col- A Col - B Col - C Col-D
Row-1 Tract_No Parcel_ID Owner
Row-2 8-5-012-045 251254 Floyd Daniels
Row-3 7-5-065-012 251254 Floyd Daniels
Row-4 8-6-045-012 251254 Floyd Daniels
Row-5 7-9-001-105 036584 James Clark
Row-6 8-5-900-012 214566 Mary Jones

FWIW: Incidentally, if you copied the cell B2 to a text editor, you will
also see the 3 values like this, with the quotes at the end.

"8-5-012-045
7-5-065-012
8-6-045-012"

But if you paste it in Access it shows something like this:

"8-5-012-045*7-5-065-012*8-6-045-012"

How can this be done, if at all?

TIA for your replies.
