Default Scroll data into 3 columns

Personally, I would copy the data into MSWord and use format|columns there.

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

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

If I recall correctly, this is for a single column. You'd have to make some
modifications if you wanted groups of 3.

User has 3-columns of data with hundreds of records. She wants to take
these 3-columns and scroll them, in order, into 9-columns on her Excel page.
Think of Word wrapping it's columns while maintaining the order of the data.
Is this possible to do in Excel, and if so, how? Thank you.
