In Excel I have the option to go to Data - Text to Columns to convert text
from a single cell to multiple columns. I would like to convert the text to
multiple rows.

There might be a better way to do this but you could use text to columns to
divide up the text and then copy...paste special....transpose (to transpose
the text from columns to rows.)

Thanks for your reply Tim. Part of my problem is that the text I am
converting is more than 256 columns, so I am losing some of it.

How about a simple macro to:

1. Read the value of the cell into a string variable
2. Loop through the variable identifying the characters between each
succesive pair of delimiters, putting these into a second string
variable.
3. Use Range("A65536").End(xlUp).offset(1,0) = stVariable2
to list the substrings under one another.
