If your text file has a filename with an extension .txt, then start
Excel and do File | Open with "All files (*.*)" selected as the file
type - identify your file and click open. Excel will automatically take
you into the Text Import Wizard, which has 3 stages:
Stage 1: specify if fixed-width or delimited
Stage 2: specify the character used as delimiter
Stage 3: specify the data type for each column
When you click <finish>, the file will be loaded into Excel.
You should practice this a few times, then you could record a macro
while you do it, so that in future you would only need to invoke the
macro to do it for you automatically.
Hope this helps.
