    Copy pasting individual characters of a string into individual cells

    I have a DNA string and I have to paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. But I want individual characters in that string to go into individual cells in the spreadsheet.

    Like when I copy lordoftherings and paste it into Excel, I want it to go in like l o r d o f t h e r i n g s, with each letter in a separate cell.

    Also, how would I make the characters obtained in a row (like what I'd expect in the above situation) to go into a column?
