Thank you for replay. By looking at the site you posted, I gues what my questions meant was how to manipulate where on the path the text will placed. The example on that site shows text covering the entirety of a path, however I'd like to be able to move the text to a certain position on the path (where both path and text are visible), as moving the text along the path (selecting and only moving the text) will make the text retain the 'shape' of the portion of the path it initially covered, 
i.e it won't adapt to the current segment of the path it is placed on.<br><br>From what I've been able to deduce about this, is that the text will always be placed at the 'begining' of the stroke as the path. The solution I've managed to use is to have multiple strokes (the visible one and then copy it and alter it to suit what I want), place the text in the duplicate as the path, and then make the duplicate either transparent or not drawing the stroke. I feel this approach is a tad convoluted, but works.
