If you put a word in A1, you can put a bunch of formulas in B1:X1 (enough cells
for each letter):

in B1:
=mid(a1,1,1)
in C1:
=mid(a1,2,1)
in d1:
=mid(a1,3,1)
.....

You could even be a little sneaky.
Put this in B1 and drag across:
=MID($A1,COLUMN()-1,1)

or no matter what column if you start with the cell to its right:
=MID($A1,COLUMN()-COLUMN($A1),1)

Change $a1 to the cell that holds the word -- in both spots.

I would like to know if there is a way to format merged cells so that
lines show up where each cell would be.

Instead of having a cell look like this...

_TEST_

I want my cell to look like this...

_T|E|S|T_

But I want to be able to enter an entire word into the cell, not have
to do it letter by letter. I'm thinking right now the only way to do
that would be to enter data into one cell and then read it letter by
letter and insert each letter into a single cell.
