This script breaks up text into separate layers.

The script has 4 modes:

• Preserve characters location maintains the characters at their current location, but it creates text layers having the same number of characters as the original layer (therefore their anchor point is the same as the original anchor point).
• Appropriate anchor point creates text layers containing only one character (therefore their anchor point is as defined in the Paragraph panel), but it places all text layers at the same location.
• Separate into words and Separate into lines are the same as Appropriate anchor point but create text layers containing only words or only lines.
