I have a circle and I want the text fitted to the bottom of it, but the right way round so you don't have to stand on your head to read it <G>
I used to do this in a very old version of coreldraw, but blowed if I can see how to do it in X3! Somebody please enlighten me!

Thanks once again - that's great! It was the mirror button that fooled me - I clicked on it and thought "EEEK"!
Two additional things that can be worth noticing while dragging the text around:
1. Note the red snap lines. They will help you position the text correctly sideways.
2. Note that the text snaps vertically to the baseline, ascender and descender (and also to multiples of Tick Snapping in Property Bar).Tip: While dragging text around, it is possible to lock the vertical placement by holding Shift.
Here's how I do it -
In order to watch the short streaming video, use Internet Explorer, NOT Firefox. "Text on a path" is lesson h -

How do I do it in CorelDraw 10? I have done it easily in earlier versions, but I'm stumped on this.
Hi.
Unfortunately, I no longer have version 10 installed, but I'm sure it was very similar. Try selecting the text, choosing "Fit text to path" in the same way, then I recall you are presented with an arrow in order to select your path.
As for getting it placed at the bottom, you'll probably need to look at the icons on the property bar once you've selected the text on the path, and mirror, move, whatever.
I'm sorry that's not a lot of help, but, as I say, I no longer have version 10 to have a look at.
