I got a cell with the text:

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE GO TO NEXT ROW

How would I get excel to split the sentence above into 2 different cells A1 & A2, after the sentence exceeds 66 characters
So that-
A1: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE
A2: GO TO NEXT ROW

--------------------------------------------

Additionally, if the cell is 67 characters: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLEE
How would I split to to 2 different cells so the words dont get cut off half way?
A1: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE
A2: EXAMPLEE

Thanks ! I have a problem now, because sometimes the sentence goes into 3 lines.
So how would I have the same formulas, for cells A1 & A2 & A3, after the sentence exceeds 66 characters for A1 and A2?
