Default how do I import .txt file as rows not columns?

I have a text file of several hundred email addresses, which I want to import
into Excel (or Access). The data look like:

; ; ... etc

but when I use the Import External Data wizard, it imports the whole lot as
columns in the first row, and cuts off the last few hundred, as there are
more than 255 records, so what I get looks like:

A / B /
C /
1/
/ /

How can I import them as single column entries in many rows? What I want is
this:

A /
1/
/
2/
/
3/
/

Thanks in anticipation,

Phil
