Make an object into a text box

Hi everyone,

Other than clicking on a shape with the Type tool, is there any other way to make a shape become a text box in Adobe Illustrator 2021?

Thanks Monica. You wouldn't happen to know where I could get such a javascript?

There are loads of JavaScripts scattered around the interwegs. You could try a search.

Also there are a couple of scripters active in the forums. Maybe one of them has a quick idea.

If there is more than one selected, you can make it into threaded text. For single objects, maybe via scripting.
