Inserting text from text doumnet in to seperate layers?

[hi1ton]

Hi

I have a 1500 words in a text document MS Word or Notepad and want to insert each word into a new layer in photoshop.

Do you know if this is possible to automate and how I can do this?
As much detail as possible would be appreciated.

Thanx
Joe

A client just needs each word in a document as a seperate layer, he will then create 1500 images for something he is doing in Adobe After Effects.

I you know a better way...

Well, from what I can remember I THINK photoshop has the max of 8000 layers so you wont have a problem..

I have some idea of how u can do it but I have to try it myself first before making a fool of myself...

Be patient..

if, for example, a single layer is 1mb then this would end up in a 1.5 gigabyte file!

Personally i think i would write a little script to create pure postscript files. These can then be combined into a single file on separate layers.
