a shortnote how to do this in Calc..... ;-)

Open the textfile, when the 'Text import' wizzard is show do:
1) Select characterset 'Unicode (UTF-8)'
2) Separater options: 'separated by', check 'Tab' and 'Space', other 
options should not be checked.
3) at 'Text delimiter' type a space
4) klik 'OK'

5) Insert a column B, and fill it with a semi-colon ';'

6) Klik save-as, type a name, and check 'Edit filter settings'
7) The Export Text file' wizard should be shown.
8) Character set: 'Unicode (UTF-8)'
9) Field delimiter: space ' '
10) Text delimiter: <empty> ''
11) checkboxes: only leave 'Save cell content as shown' checked.....


Hi Luuk,

I am afraid this doesn't work. I thought of it myself and also tried it at
the beginning of my work.
As I said, Terms consist of 2-5 words, so when using space as separator
there is no way to insert a column (especially B) for the semicolon. Besides
definitions are sometimes so long with so many spaces, that calc reports not
being able to create enough columns for the whole content.

The correct and professional way is what Brian suggested and I was looking
for.
Now I can use these expressions in the future too because the need for their
usage occurs very often in mine kind of work.
