Google Groups is now only 6-8 hours behind so the multiple posts should start
slowing down.

Put names in column A

Sub Name_IT_Back()

Cell = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Address
While Range(Cell).Row < 1
Posi = Trim(Len(Range(Cell).Value) - InStrRev(Range(Cell).Value, "."))
Range(Cell).Offset(0, 1).Value = Right(Range(Cell).Value, Posi) & " " & _
Left(Range(Cell).Value, Len(Range(Cell).Value) - Posi)
Cell = Range(Cell).Offset(-1, 0).Address
Wend
End Sub

lol, You really very understanding. The problem was I was checking on
google and it never showed up till Peter Richardson sent me an email to see
in msoffice directly.

Well I tried your code but gives compile error for """"InStrRev"""".
Pls note I am using excel 97.

And also have two names like P.V.R.ALEX MATHEWS AND SO ON.
