Dividing data into columns in a spreadsheet.
Note:
All data moved to a spreadsheet from a webpage is put into the first (one)
column of the spreadsheet program. Thus, to make it more useable
the data must be spread over separate columns.

Highlight
the first column of data by clicking and dragging the cells of the first
column.
Click
on Data on the top menu bar and select Text to Columns...
Click
on Fixed width in the resulting dialog box, then click Next
near the box's bottom.
In the
next box click in the data where you want a column divider (vertical line)
if none exists. If one is already there click and drag it to move
it or double click it to remove it. (Also stated in the box.)
Click
Finished

--- in Lotus 123 - somewhat more complicated
Highlight
the first column of data by clicking and dragging the cells of the first
column.
Click
on Range on the top menu bar and select Parse...
Click
on Create in the resulting box to create a format line (designating
the columns). (If you don't like the default columns Lotus sets up
read Lotus help on parsing data.)
Choose
an Output range (place where you want the data displayed) if different
from the default.
Click
OK
to create the new spreadsheet. (Lotus usually creates a duplicate last
row of data when the output range is the default range --- this row can
be deleted.)
