I know how you basically use the text along path function.
But im trying to get text along a circle shaped path, so that the text is exactly in the middle of a ring, and for some reason im unable to do that.
Why is that ?
Here is my picture and i want my text to be in the middle of the blue ring.

So i would suggest, you need a path somewhere in the blue ring, so the text can sort of "stand" on that circle, like this:

Well that doesnt work at all, because when i click Text to path, i get this:

What am i doing wrong ?
EDIT: okay, in the meanwhile i found out two things:
1) the box around the text has to fit as tightly as possible
2) the path goes through the middle of the text.
I still find it very difficult to place the text exactly where i want it.....
