Break a word in rows

Hello everybody !

 

I'm looking to break a word in rows, one letter per row.

 

Example :

 

1Word
2Joy
3Herb

 

This would become :

 

1W
1o
1r
1d
2J
2o
2y
3H
3e
3r
3b

 

I can't do it using the Text to Column tool as I have to specify a delimiter.

 

Do you have any idea ?

 

Thanks for your answers.

 

Jean-Baptiste

Nice work @RishiK 

 

You could also use a full stop/period. This in regex means any character, so will split not only your letter A-Z but spaces and numbers too
