Text Along Path Problem

[rich2005]

I can see some more obvious issues.

1. The text is centered and the text box is big and fixed - no good doing that.



2. You get a correct result with left justification and a dynamic text box.


edit: That should read dynamic not fixed

3. But the text is not suitable for the top of the circle. Before applying Text-along-path use the flip tool on the path. Select the correct mode for path and horizontal, click in the canvas. If everything is symetrical like that circle you see no change but the path will reverse. Now apply Text-along-path to give.



Then for a symmetrical setup just a matter of using the rotate tool in paths mode.

This is an old video of mine showing the above and a bit more: Might help
