Default import simple data & re-arrange it

I have a text file of 40 integers in several rows, separated by commas.
I created an Excel query. I click on my query, it opens Excel, delimits
the import, and pastes this into a sheet:

1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18
19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 36 36
37 38 39 40

I wish to turn this into a single column:

1
2
..
..
..
40

I could not find a way to form one column while importing this data, that
would have been ideal to do. So, I record a macro, cut row 2, paste it
to the right of row 1, cut row 3, paste it to the right again, until I
have 1 row. I then copy the row, paste special & transpose it to a
column.

The macro itself does not record the "pastes"! Here it is:

Sub Columnize()
'
' Columnize Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+r
'

Range("A2:F2").Select
Selection.Cut
Range("A3:F3").Select
Selection.Cut
Range("A4:F4").Select
Selection.Cut
Range("A5:F5").Select
Selection.Cut
Range("A6:F6").Select
Selection.Cut
Range("A7:D7").Select
Selection.Cut
Rows("1:1").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlAll, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:=False _
, Transpose:=True
Rows("1:1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End Sub




All it does is cut the first row each time I run it.

I've been experimenting for hours trying to automate this seemingly easy
function, and learn how to better create macros on my own. I find this
very frustrating :(

Advice is really appreciated!

thanks,

John
