Why not make a real PDB file out of it? Here is the format:
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/docs/format/pdbguide2.2/guide2.2_frame.html
For example:
ATOM 7 CG2 THR A 15 20.613 65.449 44.328 1.00 55.84
In your case you can all atoms UNK (it is "CG2" above), number
atoms sequentially ("7"), give them all any 3 letter residue name
("THR"), use any chain ID and number ("A" and "15"), keep occupancy
as 1.00 and set temperature factors ("55.84") as anything (20.00 is
common for no real value). "20.613 65.449 44.328" are cartesian
coordinates.
Rasmol will be happy, as will be 90% of all other programs. All in
all, it's a copy and paste job that can be done in Word using
vertical copy selection.
