    Question Subtracting text

    I have a large number of key words in A1 e.g. Bottle Hat Ring Mat glasses Fire free etc

    A product title is A2 Best selling Glasses in a ring shape free with this bottle.

    How do I get A1 - B1 in C1?????

    Then how do I split that into D1 E1 F1 G1 H1 using only 50 characters in each box.

    e.g
    a1
    Bottle Hat Ring Mat glasses Fire free

    B1
    Best selling Glasses in a ring shape free with this bottle

    C1
    Hat Mat Fire

    D1
    Hat Mat Fire up to 50 characters

    E1
    50 more Characters

    I'm using Excel 2011 for Mac
