Default Need Help Importing Text File Using Two or More Spaces as the

The sample that I posted was a "simplified" version so that everyone
could get a general idea of what I'm working with. The actual file
has more columns, and the column headers with two words in them (ie.,
SAL No) are split into separate columns when I import the data using
"space" as a delimiter. I thought it would be too confusing to paste
the sample "as is," but I have done so below so you can see the actual
file.

So... I think your template idea with the headers was a good idea... I
just need to figure out 1) how to capture the date and page number
information from the original file; and 2) how to import the data into
same worksheet as my template headers. What do you think?

Thanks!
Jessi

P.S. Here is the actual file:
