Converting rows into columns

I am trying to take a row of numbers across the page and have them form a left justified column. It is the opposite of the ALT+J command. Does text pad do this? What would the shortcut be, if it did?

Just replace the intervening spaces with carriage returns. Select the row, hit F8 (replace). Select "Regular Expression" and "Selected Text", then replace " " (space) with "\n" (assuming your numbers are separated by spaces).

And if you record it as a macro, you can assign whatever shortcut you like
