    Text to Columns w/ Salutations

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for help with organizing some data. I have a list of names in column A....I need to parse that field so that I can separate the salutation (i.e. Mr. and Mrs.) , the first name(i.e. John), last name, into separate fields?I tried text to columns but that seperates the fields that have a Dr. and Mrs. or Mr. and Mrs.

    I hope this makes sense- any help is appreciated!!

    Dr. and Mrs. Bob Smith
    Ms. Laura B. Allen
    Mr. and Mrs. Richard Doe
