Help With Reformatting

There are times when I have to dump financial information from the AS400 to
Excel. When I do, it comes down in the following format:

ACCOUNT/JOB # DESCRIPTION
7618-000-00000 COMMISSIONS
VL02527 MATHEWS GINA
VL02527 MATHEWS GINA
VL02537 MICHAELS MARG
VL02537 MICHAELS MARG
8111-000-00000 DEPRECIATION
APRIL 07 DEPR ENTRY
AUG 07 DEPR ENTRY
DEC 07 DEPR ENTRY
FEB 07 DEPR ENTRY

I need an easy way to move the account # and account name to the first two
columns like this:

7618-000-00000 COMMISSIONS VL02527 MATHEWS GINA
7618-000-00000 COMMISSIONS VL02527 MATHEWS GINA
7618-000-00000 COMMISSIONS VL02537 MICHAELS MARG
7618-000-00000 COMMISSIONS VL02537 MICHAELS MARG
8111-000-00000 DEPRECIATION APRIL 07 DEPR ENTRY
8111-000-00000 DEPRECIATION AUGUST 07 DEPR ENTRY
8111-000-00000 DEPRECIATION DECE 07 DEPR ENTRY
8111-000-00000 DEPRECIATION FEBR 07 DEPR ENTRY

I can do it manually, but there are 5,000+ lines and it takes a lot of time.
Is there any way to automate this?

Thanks.

Robert
