populating xcell with numbered list

I am trying to learn spanish and have vocabulary lists such as:

1 base la base
2 baseball la pelota de béisbol
3 basket la canasta

When I try to copy and post this list into excel it come out as:

1 base la base 2 baseball la pelota de béisbol 3 basket la canasta .

When I use a large list,say 20 words,it comes out as a box containing the list
,e.g. a boxed 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
9,10,11,12,13.

I should add that I need to use excel because it dovetails with aflashcard program I am using that will accept data from excel.

Could someone please tell me how to populate.

well you must be doing something wrong!!!
see attached i copied the info from that vocab window and pasted back special using all 3 options and none of them put it all in one row! I'll record a video but i cant post it from work. maybe tonite.
p.s. good luck with the Spanish lessons, i did 4 years at night school and can still only just about book a table in a restaurant or do the shopping!

thanks martin

I often am wrong when it comes to anything beyond the a,b,c,s of sotware theory. will definitely double check. I have office 2003. But I admit I am totally unfamilar with excel, and actually what you say is consoling. i can t fix it now cause I am in the middle of a trip to corn islands in nicaraugua, and have to leave my laptop behind.

Thanks again and I will definitely get back to it as soon as I get back.

Add on..I could not see the example cause the hotel computer does not have excel.But I went back to my laptop,and see that the solution doesn t really help, cause the flash card program requires a format with or without the numbers as follows
in 2 separate columns:

pan bread
esparar to wait
man hombre

Without the columns there would be no way to detect which part of the words are spanish and which are english.
I guess I should have made that clearer from this end.

I think it is a good way to learn spanish for me,cause the program ensures that I know the words cold, and minimizes the time to do so enormously.


Thanks again,martin,I have something to build on.
