create outlines into groups
It would help my pre production workflow a lot if it was possible to automatically create "separated" groups from text objects when I use create outlines on big chunk of text. For now one text block equals one object. It could be a function allowing me to produce single groups for every line shift for example.

Tom-Kenneth, there are several ways to solve this task at the moment.
1. If you select a text object and run Object > Flatten Transparency with a default settings, Ai will break the text into lines.
2. If you need something like words, or individual letters VectorFirstAid paid plugin from Astute Graphics allows that.
3. Free scripts that do the same, but perhaps less reliable in some casesThere is general feature request you might want to upvote instead:
Break apart blocks of text into separate text objects: by lines, words, characters, outlines
