Default Plain text to fill a single column: how?

I have text in a plain txt file. How do I get it into Excel so that the
words fill into a single column without retyping it individually? It is
a very long list of words.

Example:

"John Andrew Phillip Henry ....."
How do I get that into Excel so each word goes singly into a separate
row within the same single column, like this:

John
Andrew
Phillip
Henry
etc.

When I try to insert it or import it into Excel, the words either all
end up within one cell or else (I forgot what I did, I think Import)
they end up one word per column instead of one word per row). There has
to be a way but I cannot seem to find it.

Thanks.

Jeff
