Hi,

I can make the type go on a path. It types clockwise, but I am wanting it to go counter clockwise, along the bottom of a circle but still be readable without tilting your head. I have seen it done before, but can't recall how to do it. Any ideas?

Cheers

ben

After making your text to usual way, hover the Direct Selection tool over the text. You shoud see the cursor change from an arrow to a text beam with small arrows on either side. Drag this across the path, and the text will change between above and below the path. You may wish to change the Baseline Shift in the Character panel.

Thanks for any help on this question.
