Default Formatting Linked Excel File

I swear I posted this question yesterday but I can't find the thread for the
life of me.
I have a linked imported excel file that displays on a form. There is only
one column in the Excel file of words I need to keep in alphabetical order.
Is there any way I can format it to be viewed on the Access form in mulitple
columns instead of one very long column without having to change it in Excel?

Why would you want to do this?

You can always base the form on a query and filter the records by first
letter using a text box
