You could use a UDF to do this.

In VBE, create a new module and drop this code in:

Function strtok(strIn As String, strDelim As String, intToken As Integer) As String
   strtok = Split(strIn, strDelim)(intToken - 1)
End Function

You can use this on your sheet then by using formula:

=strtok(A1, " ", 4) 

To get the 4th word in that cell.
