Default Blank Lines

I imported a 'contact list' db into an excel worksheet.

It has many areas needing fixing before I can eventually import the
info I need into an access db table.

The first one I want to address is the fact that the contacts (3 rows
each) are separated by empty rows, and not the same number of rows.

I want to know if there is a way to programmatically find, say, 5
empty rows and delete 4 of them, then find 4 empty rows and delete 3
of them, find 3 and delete 2, and finally find 2 and delete one,
ending with a single blank row between each contact.

Actually, I am not even sure this is the best way to approach the
problem, but it is the best idea I have.

Any help sure will make my day.

Another problem I have is that city state and zip are in the same
field and I need to break them out into separate fields. I know this
has been covered many times, and I am going to go out there and try to
find it - but if you know where it is I sure would be happy if you
would point me to it.

Thanks muchly for your time and efforts. I appreciate it a great deal.
Joanne
