David McRitchie has a macro that will "snake" the columns.

Personally, I'd copy into MSWord (maybe hitting NotePad if MSWord slows down
when I paste).
Then use MSWord's Format|Column to make life easy.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

How do you make a column of data on a spreadsheet flow across the sheet like
newspaper copy flows (down and across the page, L to R)?
