Here I can introduce you a long formula to solve this problem, please do as this:
1. In a new worksheet of your active workbook, enter the formula =IF(OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,(COLUMN()-1)*45+ROW()-1,0)="","",OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,(COLUMN()-1)*45+ROW()-1,0)) into the cell A1.
Notes: Sheet1 is the worksheet which has the long list that you want to column.
45 is the row number that you want to list the data in a column.
They are all variables, and you can change them as your need.
2. Then select cell A1, and drag the fill handle down to row 45, and then go on dragging the fill handle across to right until the data has been displayed. And the long column has been divided into several columns to fit on one page in a new worksheet. See screenshot:

Dim x As Long
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set rng = Application.InputBox _
(prompt:="Select the range to convert", _
Type:=8)
iCols = InputBox("How many columns do you want?")
lRowSource = rng.Rows.Count
lRows = lRowSource / iCols
If lRows * iCols <> lRowSource Then lRows = lRows + 1
Set wks = Worksheets.Add
lRow = 1
x = 1
For iCol = 1 To iCols
Do While x <= lRows And lRow <= lRowSource
Cells(x, iCol) = rng.Cells(lRow, 1)
x = x + 1
lRow = lRow + 1
Loop
x = 1
Next
End Sub
3. Then press the F5 key to run this code, and select the list data that you want to divide in the popped up dialog box, see screenshot:
