Paste a list into separate cells in Numbers

Hi, I have a long list of about 300 names just separated by line breaks. Is it possible to copy and paste into Numbers so they come out in separate cells?

Art the moment pasting just ends up in one long cell.


Many thanks in advance.

Hi trevreav,


Perhaps you are clicking twice in a destination cell. That places the cursor inside that cell and paste will fill that cell with the whole copied list.

Click once on the destination cell and then paste.

Any improvement?


Regards,

Ian.
