I'm trying to fit some text to a path in Corel Draw 8, with no success. What I want to do is to fit some text to the bottom part of a circle. The problem is that the text turns upside down and I want it to be upside right. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Text to a path
- Thread starter BrianDB
- Start date
After you 'fit text to a path' the Property Bar will display a series of related options. (These options will also come up anytime you click on text that is attached to a path.) The last option available, just past "Horizontal Offset", is a little icon with a mirror image of two 'A's diplayed. This is the "Place on Other Side" button, if you press that it will flip your text right side up.
You may want to experiment with this in combination with the "Vertical Placement" options also on the Property Bar when text on a path is selected. This will allow you to change what part of the the text (the top, the bottom, the center, etc.) is connected to the path.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
