Question : Grab first part of values before space in a cell

I am using Excel 2003. I have a column that has the following values

wonder wal
champagne sup

the last 3 characters are alway 3 letters I know how to get the last 3 but I actually want the first part before the space. Any ideas on how to do this. Much Aloha
