Subject: Trim a column in a spreadsheet?



East central Iowa

I download a CVS file from my bank.  The description column is much larger than I want.  
for example:

BUSINESS xxxxx MERCHANT PURCHASE TERMINAL xxxxxxxx CITY NAME HERE DEBIT CARD PURCHASE 11-01-19 12:00 AM XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'd like to shorten it to;BUSINESS xxxxx MERCHANT 

Because there are a lot doing it by editing individually isn't practical.  There must be some simple way to do this.  I'd then be able to copy the several columns and paste them into a Wordpad document which I can use on a computer that has no speadsheet.

That computer has no Internet access either and limited memory so I can't install a spreadsheet on it but it does have Wordpad.
