Illustrator - Inverting text on a curve

I've duplicated the circle with the text from the original curved text tutorial and added some coloured circles for this one making it easier to see where things go.

To flip the text click and drag (with the selection tool selection tool) the text positioner as seen below from position 1 to postition 2.

The text should now be inverted as seen below, now using the text positioner, slowly rotate the text and add a guide if needed to get it aligned.

You can also scale the circle containing the text, if its too small by dragging from a corner point, this will also scale the font so you might need to re select the text tool , click on the text and alter the size of it from the character menu. Again when scaling if you press the shift key down while dragging, it will constrain the shape used.

Above is the final scaled text, as you can see I have added two guides so I can keep the text aligned.
