Hello,

I'm working with a Word Document that includes course number, course title and course description. I saved the document as a .txt file and used Excel to open the .txt file.

The current Excel format is one column; one row contains course number and title and the row directly below contains course description. My goal is to add 3 additional columns to include course number, course title, and course description. Course description needs to included the information from Col B and insert description into column E. In the example below B1 data should appear in C1 and D1; B2 should appear in E1 without (Course Credits).

Is this possible? Thank you for your assistance

Sorry, I don't understand what you wrote. I'm new VB and plan to research VB classes next month. Any suggestions? In the mean time, can you please provide step by step instructions.
