I appreciate the OP trying to help though.

I have installed the pgm successfully. Only issue is that after selecting the Data to be converted, the application just sits there. It doesnt do anything. I am running on Windows 2K. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!

Regards,
Randy

1. Download add-on (link at top of this page) to your desktop.
2. Double click on the icon and extract the .oxt file to somewhere on your desktop.
3. Open up OOspreadsheet
4. On top menu click on Tools -> Extension manager and click Add when you have highlighted ‘My extension’
5. Navigate menus to the .oxt file you extracted before.
6. Restart program
7. Text to columns icon will appear in the upper left directly under ‘File’
8. Quite whining about how open and free software isn’t as good as crappy software made by one of the richest corporations on the planet.
