Default How to extract text from number/text cell

Excel 2003 - how can I extract JUST the text from cells that contain varying
lengths of numbers and text with no symbol or visible separator? Examples:

182mg/dl
19cm
12938mgl
23854m
1mg/pl

What I would want in the above scenario is this
mg/dl
cm
mgl
m
mg/pl

Is there a way to do this? I've searched everywhere, but almost always
someone has a specific character they are using for the extraction. ANy help
would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
