Hi

if you select and copy the document in word (control & A then control & C)
then click in cell A1 of a worksheet in excel and paste (control & V)
does it work like you want.

if not, you could do this
control & A in word to select all
click on the insert table icon on the toolbar your list should be turned
into a table
now copy the table and paste into excel.

Cheers

Tried this in Word-- but how do you enter a carriage return- pressing
Enter
does not do the trick for me

Thanks

I have a list of names, separated by a comma, in a file named
file.txt. When I use Excel to open this file, I get the Wizard to
format-- but the names are all listed in a single row (1) and many
columns. I can not determine how to format to lisst all names in a
single column with name rows. Thanks..

Don't know if there's an easy way to do this in Excel, but I'd use a
word
processor to find and replace (replace commas with carriage returns)
