ok...this is probably one of those DUHHH questions but.. i've never had any training & i'm very new to illy so....
i am trying to put text on the inside of a path not the outside.
--did that make sence?

the text is going around a CD, this is what i have, but they want to read it from the outside not the inside

There should be some handles that appear on your text. Some of them should look like white boxes, one of them should look just like a straight line. If you click on the straight line one and pull it around it should give you the effect that you are looking for.
