Default Transpose column into rows for use as mailmerge data

I have data in the following format and would like to convert into an Excel
spreadsheet for use as mail merge database

If the addresses were only three lines then I could use the following
method. However some addresses have 5, 6 or 7 lines. Can anybody help get it
in the right format for a mailmerge?

In B1 enter this formula =INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*3+COLUMNS($A:A))
Drag/copy across to D1.
Select B1:D1 and drag/copy down until zeros show up.
Select columns B:D and copy.

Delete Column A
