I have cells which contain multiple names, but they are separated by different values. I want to split these into separatae cells in the same row.

E.g.
I start with...
Row 1 cell 1 = Mr Smith, Dr Jones
Row 2 cell 1 = Dr Peter Dent/Professor Nick Dole/Jim Gomez

I would like to finish with...
Row 1 cell 1 = Mr Smith Row 1 cell 2= Dr Jones
Row 2 cell 1 = Dr Peter Dent Row 2 cell 2 = Professor Nick Dole Row 2 cell 3 = Jim Gomez
