I use the "text to columns" (data menu) feature to copy data I get from an
internet site onto my EXCEL spreadsheet.

To be more specific, I copy data for 1)the location, 2) the latitude, and 3)
the longitude into colukmn A ONLY:

  A          B              C           D               E          F        
    G

Jasper    52°    53'    N    118°    4'    W
    52    53        118    4
Jasper    52.88    118.07   

THEN, I USE TEXT TO COLUMNS TO 'SPREAD' MY DATA FROM COLUMN A INTO COLUMNS
A,B,C,D,E,F &G.

Then, my program converts degrees with minutes into a number with 2 decimal
places.

IT WORKS PERFECTLY...the first step in the "Text to Columns" wizard
indicates a FIXED WIDTH, which later permits me to eliminate columns so that
I can properly align my data.       

HERE IS THE DILEMMA:  When I repeat my copying and pasting further DOWN my
spreadsheet, the "TEXT TO COLUMNS" step 1 wizard is indicating "Delimited"
instead of "Fixed-width"...thus creating additional work on my part.

I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WHY SHOULD MY EXACT SAME TEXT TO
COLUMNS FEATURE GIVE ME 2 SEPARATE OPTIONS ON THE SAME WORKSHEET????

1...fixed width  AND
2...delimited

depending on whether I am working HIGH in the worksheet, or, further down
thw page??

PLEASE EXPLAIN?

Thank you,
