    You could just use excels built in function of Text to Columns its found under DATA on the menu bar, select column A, then DATA, TEXT TO COLUMNS,the list is delimited and you will get given the option when clicking next to choose the delimiter (which is space)
    Not all forums are the same - seek and you shall find

    Clarification

    Questions:
    Are there always 1 middle name and can they have 2 last names?
    Does the name sometimes include Mr, Mrs etc?
