and created a file in notepad called data.txt. Then I used this procedure:


open excel 2007

click data on the ribbon

click from text-- browse to data.txt and open it.

Pick "delimited" click next

unckeck "tab" and check "space" then click next

click "finish"

accept "=$A$1" default and click ok -- data will populate the spreadsheet
