Hi

If I draw an arc and some text, select them both and then Text->Put on Path, I get the text 'left' justified on the arc. I would like the text _centre_ justified. How do I go about it, please?

Hi Jim,

Not a real expert here, but I think you might try (with the text selected) to go to the 'Text' menu--> 'Text and Font.' You then get a text format editor... with the various justifications (on the right in my version), select the center option...

Hope that helps.

It certainly did help Henry - thanks!

I didn't expect to have to do the justification before putting on the path. I thought I could just select it on the path and then justify it somehow.

Center justify it ->before<- putting it on path.

Got it now - many thanks!
