Default Notepad or .txt file to excel

I have a notepad file with thousands of rows of information. I want to copy
it to excel. It copies very well each line into separate rows. But......I
would like......a million dollars......
Is there a way after each space in the notepad file to put that information
in the next column? So I copy information out of notepad into excel and have
the information in separate cells and columns?

Having copied it into Excel, use Data/ Text to columns, with space as
delimiter.
Otherwise, pull the txt into Excel with Data/ Import external data/ Import
data, and specify space as delimiter in the text import wizard.

Select the imported text and then use
Data -- Text to columns and select the space character as the delimiter.
