Text to Path?

[geckomanuk@hotmail.com webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello,
I made some text, and a circle, and selected them both by pressing shift and then clicking on them both. I then clicked the menu Text and selected Attach to Path. I then ended up with this

But the bottom text "SPECIALISTS IN REPTILES & EXOTICS" I would like to be the other way round rather than upside down. Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks

Ray

Regards
Ray

Hi Ray,

Try cutting the circle in half with the knife tool, then attach the text to
the separate halves.
On the bottom half once attached you will need to go to Text > Reverse
direction. Then adjust the size in the properties inspector to match the
top.

That's how I would do it.
