Hi Letterheads .... was just wondering if someone can tell me how to curve letters at the bottom of a circle in Corel 9? They come out curved OK when I put them at the top of the circle, but if I attempt it at the bottom, they come out upside down, and I'm totally lost as to how to turn these suckers so that they are right-side up, but, curved at the bottom of the circle. Also, can anyone tell me where I can get a table that tells how high letters should be to be seen from 300 metres? Any help would be awesome!

Kelly...I forget where it is located in Ver 9 but somewhere on the property bar across the top there is a clickable button that says "place on other side". In Corel 11 it is the right hand command button when the text that is fitted to path is selected. Just move your cursor over each button till you see that explanation and then click. The text will now be right side up.
As far as a visibility chart is concerned, there is one HERE

The best way I now is to draw a circle and use your bezier tool, to draw just the amount that you need at the bottom. just take it and put about 8-??? points, depending on length than just delete the circle it should leave you a single curved line where the bottom of circle was, now just fit to text and tell it whether to go below or above the line.
Letter Distance Chart is probably on this site if you do a search, or just go to gemini signletters.com I think they have one on their site.

also corel 9 had some problems doin what you are tryin to do. you need to check your version number and go to corel on the web and see if the patch/upgrade still exists for version 9.
