Move Words to a Column

Use whitespace for individual words or a custom separator for entries containing spaces.

Words to Lines

1. Paste the source text into Insert list. It may contain spaces, line breaks, or another consistent separator.
2. Leave Split by empty for whitespace splitting, or enter a literal separator. Clear Begin with uppercase letters when the original case should be preserved.
3. Click Move to process the current input.
4. Read Result for one split item per row and Number of rows for the item count.
5. Click Copy under the output you want to keep. Use Clear where shown to clear the text fields; option selections stay as set.

With apple banana pear, an empty Split by field, and the default capitalization option, Result has three rows: Apple, Banana, and Pear.

Whitespace splitting handles more than a single space

The default separates runs of whitespace and ignores outer whitespace. This keeps repeated spaces from creating empty list items.

A custom separator keeps phrases together

A literal separator such as a semicolon can split multiword entries without breaking at their internal spaces. It is not interpreted as a regular expression or a quoted CSV format.
