Hello everybody! I'm doing a cover for Beyoncé's song Heaven, and for this I need to do text wrapped around a path. I want to make this text:

Beyoncé - Heaven

go in the shape of a halo. I have made my path look exactly like a halo but when I try to select 'text along path' it never goes along that path or it looks weird. If someone could help me that would be amazing!!! Thank you!

I got it to work somewhat! It now goes along the path like I want it to - my biggest thing though is now making the text readable. At this point it goes along the path but it's all upside down, and I want the text right side up and to read correctly! How do I do that, and can I do that?

Here ya go. viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6720

You can also have a look at my text-along-path script. It gives you more control on where the text goes, and doesn't distort the characters (but your path has a very small curvature radius, so either method will not look too good).

CoverMaker, did you turn off the eye in the path dialogue, looks like it is still turned on in your image. Then use the horizontal flip tool.
