Note
To learn about the Type On A Path options like “Flip,” search for “Creating type on a
path” in Illustrator Help (Help > Illustrator Help).

8. Click OK.
9. Move the pointer over the line on the left end of the word “CELEBRATING.” That line you
see is called a bracket. When you see this cursor ( ), with an arrow pointing to the left, drag
down and to the left around the circle in a counterclockwise fashion. That moves the end of the
text, giving you room to move the beginning. See the first two parts of the following figure.

Note
Brackets appear at the beginning of the type, at the end of the path, and at the midpoint
between the start and end brackets. All of these brackets can be adjusted to reposition
the text in the path.


  1. Move the pointer over the line on the left end of the word “CELEBRATING” again. When you


see this cursor ( ), with an arrow pointing to the right, drag down and to the left around the
circle just a little in a counterclockwise fashion. That moves the beginning of the text. See the
last part of the following figure.
