Splitting a cell???

B

Brw

I have a long list of data combined in once column by
cell. The data in each cell includes a phone number and
address. I would like to split that data into two
different cells. Is this possible and if so how?

The data looks like this:

(555) 555-5555 999 Broadway, Apt A
etc.
etc..
etc...

Any advise?

Try <Data> <TextToColumns>
Check "FixedWidth", <Next>
Read the directions to move the break line to the end of the phone numbers
and eliminate any others,
Then <Finish>

Hi Brw!

Can we have more examples?

For example, is there always two spaces between the telephone number
and the address.
