Manual adjustment of the width of each text on the guides can be a tedious process. That's why Carlos Canto created the free TextBlock script for Adobe Illustrator.

Carlos' script expanded text objects into curves. I made changes to keep the text editable and added an interface to control the text block creation settings.

I also released a similar version for Adobe Photoshop.
