• To flip the direction of text along a path, drag the bracket across the path. Alternatively, choose Type > Type On
A Path > Type On A Path Options, select Flip, and click OK.
Flipping type along a path
To move type across a path without changing the direction of the type, use the Baseline Shift option in the Character
palette. For example, if you created type that runs from left to right across the top of a circle, you can enter a negative
number in the Baseline Shift text box to drop the type so that it flows inside the top of the circle.
