    editing problems in excel

    I have a series of numbers edited in word as a single word ex: 0101111100111,
    what can I do in order to insert each number (0, 1, 0, 1, 1, ....) in a
    single cell when copying to excel. I have a large amount of data so inserting
    tabs manually in word between each number is impossible

    Highlight the data and select Data>text to columns. Take the 'fixed width'
    option and enter a break every character in the next stage of the wizard

    One idea: in Word, do a search-and-replace and replace each "0" with
    "0,"; then replace each "1" with "1,". Import to Excel and perform a
    text to columns using the comma as the delimiter.
