"Capitalize and Fit" for Illustrator?

[Marley C.]

Curiouser and Curiouser. 

Adobe Creative Cloud Express (Formerly Spark) has this handy dandy little feature where you can "capitalize anf fit" any text to the text box. I have seen other posts in other communities wishing this feature would be added to Illustrator. Alas, Adobe has not yet listened.

My question is, is there a way to achieve this easily in Illustrator? It's quite tedious as it is.

Thanks!

I will leave it to you to decide if you find these solutions easy or if the way you already do it less tedious.

Thanks for including these links! These are certainly similar, but not identical to what I am trying to do.

After much research, the short answer seems to be that this is not a feature Illustrator currently has. The best way I have found to do this, personally, is to just use separate text boxes and adjust them to my liking.

Thanks for the input!

Yes, I was afraid of that!
