Default Moving Text from Word to Excel (and having it set into 2 columns)

I have a Word Document that has the follow format. . .

word , word
word , word
word , word
word , word

.. . . Its basically a two page list of 2 words separated by a comma per
line. But the spacing between the words is sporadic, and likewise the comma
doesnt have any defined (fixed) position between the words.

Id like to export this list into Excel so that Excel will read it as 1 row
of 2 columns . Do I need to first standardize the spacing between the words
and comma, or is there a better way to do this?

Im not sure what the best approach should be. I have never created a CSV
doc in Word before, and for that matter I can't ever remembering a time where
I imported from Word into Excel either. So, I would love to get any feedback
on this situation.


Take Care, and Thanks,

Jim

[ for those curious I got this of of the internet. the comma's used to be
dashes but I changed them over to comma's thinking that would be the first
step in the right direction. Obviously I don't know what the next steps are.
