Object on a Path tool but rotate objects relative to artboard

Hello all, 

Is there any way to rotate my objects and position them vertically relative to the artboard as opposed to the path using the new Objects on a Path tool? I need my objects to be placed on a path exactly the way the tool does, but I need them all individually to be straight up and down to the artboard. I can't seem to find a way to do that all automatically without detaching them once spaced along the path and setting every objects rotation to zero individually under Transform properties. I'd like to be able to do them all at once. Transform Each doesn't do this either.

TIA

I've got the tracking I think, but I still don't know how to get the letters to be vertical in relation to the artboard.


It's in the menu Type > Pathtext > stairsteps

Can you share a sample Illustrator file for inspection?
