Default batch importing of mailing lists to Excel

I've got a mailing list of around 1000 names, stored in both Word and
Entourage like this: First Name Last Name <e-mail address
Once Ive eliminated the < , do I then have to individually copy & paste
(or type) all the info in three Excel columns? Or is there a simpler solution
for batch importing of mailing lists to the Excel spreadsheet?

You can paste the whole list into excel and then use Data-Text to Column
option to break it into columns.. There are a number of posts here - just
search for them if you need more information.
