Little tip : If you edit the path, of course the text follows.

You can split the path in two pieces, and then move the parts. The text will be splits too.

thank you :)

The only way you can easily do this is create two circles, add text to each, and then align the layers on top of one another so that it looks as though it were a single circle. (Obviously, make sure the circles are exactly the same size. 'Copy' will be your tool here.)

I don't have a copy of Inkscape in front of me right now, but memory suggests some experimenting is required. You may have to use 'space' in your text in order to only allow text along a semi-circle.

I'm struggling with a similar problem. I'm trying to make a logo which requires 2 pieces of text around the outside of a circle. One following the top half of the circle reading from left to right and one following the bottom half also reading left to right.

How can I achieve this?
