How do i copy columns of data in notepad into microsoft excel?
 
I have a several large columns of data stored in notepad. The columns are all
next to each other. I need to put column 1 in column A in excel and column 2
into column B in excel etc. Copy and paste does not work. I cant just
highlight one column I end up highlighting all 6 columns! If a just copy a
paste all the data, the entire data just goes into column A of excel, and I
can not perform any excel functions on the data. HELP! This is extremely
annoying, I am beginning to think the only way is to copy each bit of data by
hand into excel, but there over 1000 items!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you cannot open the file and parse it there then copy the data over and
use Data / Text to Columns.
