Done it! Got this info from another site:
Just highlight the type and then, go to “Type>Type on a Path Options”. Select that and a dialog box comes up. With your type selected click on “Preview”, then “Flip” and at “Align to Path” choose “Ascender”.

Kailas I am trying to do this, it’s driving me crazy! Has anyone ‘flipped’ text from outside a circle to the inside?

Ok I get all this but I can’t find one solution: if you put type on a path and it is suppose to go to the bottom of the circle, then it is “upside down” from the reader’s point of view… I want to put type on a path and have the top of the x Height of the letters be aligned with the base line, which in this instance would be the cirle.

This way, letters on the curve at the top are right reading starting at 10 o’clock thru 12 over to 2 o’clock.. then the letters on the bottom are also right reading, left to right starting at 8 o’clock on the left to 4 on the right… this means the bottom of the letters are pointing outward…

I don’t see any option in IDCS3 to do this…

Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes, I forget the things that I don’t use often. “Rediscovery” is a wonderful thing!

Very nicely done Ted, although I don’t really use type on path and the skewing at all, I’m sure that I know someone who does.
