Create a new document and choose Horizontal Type Tool.

...select the black font color and enter a letter.

I enter the letter L.

 
 
4.
 

Click Commit any current edits to confirm the letter.

 
 
5.
 

Now press Ctrl + T to enter Free Transform mode.

With the Horizontal Type Tool still selected, right click the letter and choose Create Work Path.

You have just created a working paths so we won't be needing the text layer anymore.

Deactivate the layer, uncheck the eye button next to the layer (see picture).

In the menu click Window and choose Character and under the Paragraph tag click Justify all icon (see picture).

Enter your whole text...
