Hello, bowlesbe!

Take a look at Text To Columns in the menu Data
this will leave you with some more little "adjustment problems"
play a bit with it and then let us know what you would like do next

kind regards,
Erik

EDIT: of course you will use "space" as delimiter

I dont know anything about notepad, however Excel files with the file extension of .csv are text comma or tab delimited files.

Do you have an option under File menue in Notpad to export the data? If so, is Excel.csv an option?
