Text along path stops at first anchor point

[lvholmesuk]

I am trying to create text along a path but the text is stopping at the first anchor point (see image). I successfuly created the path (not a shape) and have been able to attach the text to the path, but can't get it beyond the first anchor point. When I am typing on the path I see the first anchor as a small circle with a cross in it - don't know if that's as it should be. Any thoughts about what I'm doing wrong? TIA

Try deleting the Type layer in the Layers panel and try again.
