How do I partially delete info in many cells at once?

I have a mailing list in excel that on one column contains ages but it reads
"AGE: 65" or whatever age is in the cell. I want to map this to a contact
manager that has a place for age but only the actual number. Is there a way
to delete the "AGE:" and just leave the number so only that number gets
imported? There are 4,500 contacts so it woud take me forever to do i t one
at a time.
Thanks
George

You can use the "text to columns" feature (under Data in the toolbar) to
parse the information as long as the column information always has a fixed
width.
