Default Going from column to comma separated list...

I have a list of names, each in its own cell. I need them to be in a column,
not a row. But, what I would like to do, is be able to select all the names
and copy them and then, when I paste them into word or another spreadsheet
have them separated by commas.

So:
Jeff
Joe
Sally

becomes
Jeff, Joe, Sally

The excel file starts out as a CSV that was created using a text editor
already in the format I want with the commas between the names... but I need
to open it as an excel spreadsheet so I can do some filtering and sorting. I
keep the file saved as a CSV. But, when I open the file as a CSV and put the
list into a column, if I then save the file back to a CSV it is no longer in
the comma separated format I need.

What do i need to do?

Thanks!
