Excel help needed

[mlmrob]

When I copy and paste horseratings from adrianmassey.com into a spreadsheet i get the following

Horsename121238783
rather than each being in a sepaerate column reading

Horsename 12 12 38 783

As I have just got a new computer , running XP and Home works I am a bit baffled as it worked okay on my old machine that had 98 on.

On there it was just a case of copying & pasting but now I just get the horses name followed by a load of numbers.
The paste special isn't highlighted either so I am bit confused.

if any of you guys have any ides it would be much appreciated.

many thanks

Rob

Use Data/text to Columns -- FiXed Width Option Button -- to Parse your string.
