Create a Rectangle.

Slice Shapes
Separate the box pieces just over the width of a character.
Soft-group.
Repel Text Under.
Place over the Text Area. Note, all the characters need to have a return between them.
Adjust to fit.
If I want to change the curve, select the split box and use the Shape Tool to pick horizontal pairs of control points and move these to the new curve.

BRILLIANT ... JUST BRILLIANT, what a great idea. Wouldn't have thought of it in a million years.
