Hi Phil:

Here is some sample data for columns A thru C:

c:\test\birds.txt c:\test\animals.txt c:\test\flowers.txt
sparrow dog rose
robin cat lily
quail mouse violet
hawk flea snapdragon
rat
elephant
moose


The first row is the full filespec (path & name). Here is a very simple
macro:

Sub Column2File()
' gsnuxx
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For i = 1 To 3
n = Cells(Rows.Count, i).End(xlUp).Row
fspec = Cells(1, i).Value
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(fspec, True)
For j = 2 To n
a.WriteLine (Cells(j, i).Value)
Next
a.Close
Set a = Nothing
Next
Set fs = Nothing
End Sub
