Thank you for the info.  I am differently in over my head on this program
and was hoping for a simple (1 click) solution.  I can follow your
suggestion and make it work.  I have created a new column with only the
info I wanted to break out.  That has worked but it is a lot of extra
steps.  Thanks again.

Larry
