Hi,

Separate each value with tabs in order to have them appear in different cells.  
This is accomplished reasonably quick and easy in TextEdit by using the 
Find/Replace functionality.  For example, if you had previously place a comma 
between the values, then enter the comma in the Find field and enter option-tab 
in the Replace field.  Holding down the Option key while pressing the tab tells 
TextEdit to use the tab character instead of automatically moving to the next 
item.

Later...
