    Hi, I'm trying to put text on the outside bottom side of a circular path. I can get it on the outside top edge OK, but no amount of rolling, flipping or even typing the text backwards avails. What am I missing? Help please!!!

    You can't (not joking, sorry). I think svg specification has the possibility to do it, but not inkscape. 

    You can fake it by putting the text on (inside) a slightly bigger circle (give it a transparent stroke).
