Default Convert Text to Table

I need to convert fixed-width text, delimited by spaces, to a table. I'll
end up with 5 columns. The layout is below, and I need the columns to be
placed like this (it won't look right if you're not reading this with a
fixed pitch font):

| | | |
v v v v
000000 CN 1
111111 AC
333333 AC
444444 CN 1
555555 CN 1
666666 CN 1
777777 AC
888888 CN 1

I've tried several times to convert this using convert text to table, but I
end up with, shall we say, displeasing results. I can put it to Excel and
drag column guides and it's fine, but can't word manage the same thing?

Thanks,

Ed
