Follow these instructions and tell me when you are successful:

Explanation: Comma Separated Value files 

These are sometimes referred to as "Comma delimited files" that
contain the values in a table as a series of ASCII text lines
organized so each column value is separated by a comma from the next
column's value and each row starts a new line.

Instructions:

To use .csv Files: 

1) Open Excel 

2) Select File, Open 

3) In the "Open" dialog box, change the "look in" drop down menu to
the location where you downloaded the file;

4) Change the "Files of type" (bottom left corner) to "all files"; 

5) Select the file "name" and double click or click on the "Open" button. 

--Excel will then format cell-by-cell each variable based on the
contents (numeric or text) of the cell.

Hi kbaboss,

Here's another way to do it.

Copy your word list and paste it into the first cell of excel
Select the cell & go to Data / Text to Columns / 
Choose Delimited 
Choose Tab & Comma
Finish

Your addresses should now each be in its own column.  
To change them into rows -

Copy them all.
Right-click the first cell which you will be using and click Paste Special
In the dialog box, select Transpose (right bottom), click OK.

I hope that helps!
