Beate,

Since you mentioned a map, you can also do it this way:

1. Count the paragraphs in your text.

2. Select the text object containing the lines of text. Copy or Cut it to the Clipboard.

3. LineTool: Draw a horizontal line.

4. AltShiftDrag a copy of the line downward. Transform Again (Ctrl D) until you have as many lines as you had paragraphs.

5. Text tool: Hover over the topmost line. Click when you see the Type On A Path cursor. Paste.

6. Drag a selection marquee across all the lines. Type>ThreadedText>Create.

7. Type>ThreadedText>RemoveThreading.

Now you have a bunch of indiviudal text objects, but they are already Type On A Path objects; so you can drag them into position on your map, and then directselect their paths to edit their shapes (assuming you want pathType objects roughly bending along roads, etc.)
