Cut first 5 characters in column

Fellow sufferers!

I have a column containing text bits (of max 12 characters) like "#001 Toolbit".
I want to get rid of the first 5, so I get like "Toolbit".

My code which does not function:

Range("D5").Select
While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell)

ActiveCell.Value = MID(ActiveCell.Value, 5, 99)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Wend

Please propose code that works.

It does work, but it only cuts 4 characters.
This will cut 5, from D5 downward until the first blank cell

Range("D5").Select
While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
ActiveCell.Value = Mid(ActiveCell.Value, 6, 99)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Wend

But this makes sure that there are at least 6 characters in every cell being processed:

Dim rngC As Range
For Each rngC In Range(Range("D5"), Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp))
If Len(rngC.Value) > 5 Then rngC.Value = Mid(rngC.Value, 6, Len(rngC.Value) - 5)
Next rngC
