Default Splitting the characters in the cell

Hi,

Select the cell and choose Data, Text to Columns, Delimited, Next, set the
delimiter to , (comma) and click finish. If there are more than 256 entries
this may cause a problem if you are running 2003 or earlier.
Highlight all the columns with addresses and choose copy, click an empty
cell and choose Edit, Paste Special, Transpose.

If there are really 300+ items highlight about half of them on the formula
bar and copy and paste those to a separate cell. The do the above steps
twice.
