This is NOT vba
This is PowerQuery (Get&Transform) (Excel 2010/2013 add-in, Excel 2016 and higher - built-in)

what is your Excel version?

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Leith, I have 2 word docx saved here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1K7BOgJD9JtweWSyDCoRCjrqgTJwp0HlX?usp=sharing


Hello larrylime,

I would say the problem is the emails are HTML and not pure text. That is why the Word document displayed them correctly. The list was most likely either an HTML Table, or Unordered List, either of which Excel can not display correctly after a Paste operation because there is no new line character at the end of the email. Seeing the Word document would have told me exactly what I needed to know and would have guided me in providing a solution.

Logit, I tried the code in a macro and it didn't really do much, just posted much of the content in the 3rd row instead. Downloaded the workbook (thanks for that!) but when I opened it, excel came up and a message said "There was a problem sending the command to the program" I am running windows 7 and excel 2007

I tested this revised version with data you provided for download. It works.

Code:
Sub replaceStringInCell()


    'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
    'For further information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/excel-vba-replace-substitute/


    'declare object variable to hold reference to cell you work with
    Dim myCell As Range


    'declare variables to hold parameters for string replacement (string to replace, replacement string, and number of replacements)
    Dim myStringToReplace As String
    Dim myReplacementString As String
    Dim myNumberOfReplacements As Long


    'identify cell you work with
    Set myCell = ActiveSheet.Range("A1")


    'specify parameters for string replacement (string to replace, replacement string, and number of replacements)
    myStringToReplace = "com"
    myReplacementString = "com/"
    myNumberOfReplacements = 300


    'replace string in cell you work with, and assign resulting string to Range.Value property of cell you work with
    myCell.Value = Replace(Expression:=myCell.Value, Find:=myStringToReplace, Replace:=myReplacementString, Count:=myNumberOfReplacements)
Macro1
End Sub


Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'


'
    Range("A1").Select
    Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlNone, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
        :="/", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1)), _
        TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
ConvertRangeToColumn
End Sub




Sub ConvertRangeToColumn()
'Updateby20131126
Dim Range1 As Range, Range2 As Range, Rng As Range
Dim rowIndex As Integer
'xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set Range1 = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:XFD1")
Set Range2 = ActiveSheet.Range("A3")
rowIndex = 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Rng In Range1.Rows
    Rng.Copy
    Range2.Offset(rowIndex, 0).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Transpose:=True
    rowIndex = rowIndex + Rng.Columns.Count
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hey Logit! Getting closer! It kind of worked. So the list in cell 1 is 27,000 emails addresses. Your macros only ran to cell 303, then the rest of the list stayed in that cell. Other problems: .edu and .net, did not separate, and steve@comcast.net was split into steve@com cast.netsammy etc.
