That's a toughy. Maybe you could have a script run thr= ough each layer and add line breaks every x number of characters?

Hi,

I'm having a total brain freeze and could do with some advice.
I have several hundred text layers that are currently single lines of point= text. =A0I need to add line breaks to each of them =A0so they will fit int= o a column, each line will probably be split over 5-6 separate lines.

So:

1) Is there a way to batch convert point text layers to paragraph text laye= rs and give them all the same bounding box

or

2) Is there a animation preset I can use to automatically add line breaks a= t the nearest word after every x characters?

Cheers,


-Chris
