    Hi, I'm able to put text around a curve (inside or outside) however I can't see how to place the bottom of the text on the top of one curve and at the same time place the top of the text on a curve above; see attached screenshot. The hand drawn text is the example. Leave as text, text to Path, Group etc etc? I will need detailed instructions please. Thanks in advance.

    Sorry but I can't see how to attach a screenshot.

    Maybe this:

    Requires four separate paths. Also, the text is converted to a path.

    If something goes all twisted up, one of the paths needs to be reversed.

     

    There used to be a handy Bezier Envelope extension that did this more easily, but it is not back up to snuff at this point. 😕
