You might try having a look at the analyze table tool in the tools
menu. It will tell you your table is horrible and offer to seperate
fields into new tables or allow you to choose which fields go to the
new table. I've used it and it can be confusing, but if you have a
solid understanding of the table, it's not too bad.
