DecomposeText

Version: 2.1 Sign up to be notified by email when a new version of this script is posted
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.
- Decompose Text UI

Hello !
Is it possible to place each word of the selected text layer on its own layer rather than just characters ?
It would be nice !
Sorry for my english…
French : Serait-il possible de dé-grouper le calque texte par mots seulement plutôt que chaque caractères ?
Ça pourrait faciliter la création d’animations typographiques !
