Default Importing a text file of individual records

Thanks for the suggestion, but there are a few thousand records in this file,
is there any quicker way to get them into excel?

Hi,
take record1, copy, go to the column where you want the information, paste
special transpose, do the same with record 2

I have a text file of individual records with a similar format to what is
shown below. I want to import this into excel with one record per row and
each line of the record in a seperate column. Is there a way to do this?


Record 1
Column 1 Header: xxxxxxxx
Column 2 Header: xxxxx
Column 3 Header: xxxxxxx
Column 4 Header: xxxxxx


Record 2
Column 1 Header: xxxxxxxx
Column 2 Header: xxxxx
Column 3 Header: xxxxxxx
Column 4 Header: xxxxxx
