    Want to convert multiple lines of data in single cell to multiple cells with single lines

    I converted a PDF to Excel 2013 using a freebie online service. (Yes, I could pay and then this problem I have would likely go away. ;-)

    I now have multiple lines of data (separated with an ALT+Return, I assume?) in a single cell. These lines should each be in their own cells. How to I extract this data? Example:

    Existing:
    Cell A1:
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Line 4

    Desired:
    Cell A1: Line 1
    Cell A2: Line 2
    Cell A3: Line 3
    Cell A4: Line 4

    Thanks,
