Default Separate First Name MI and Last Name into three Cells

I have a list of names in column A that contain the First Name, then a space,
the Middle Initial then a space and the last name. Some cells in column A
only contain a First name and a Last Name such as:

John A Doe
Jane Smith
Bill Jones
Sue Z Que

I want to separate the text into three columns; B, C & D. Column B = First
Name, Column C = MI and Column D = Last Name. I know how to use the MID,
LEFT and RIGHT functions, and I know there must be some way of finding the
spaces in a cell and separating the text from the spaces. Thanks for your
help.
