I've just started exploring Fireworks and have now found out how to attach text to a path.

However, is there any way in which to adjust where on the path the text starts? I want my short text in a curve like a rainbow. I drew out an ellipse to make it a circle. The problem is that the text starts at about the 3 o'clock position rather than the 11 o'clock position which would make the middle of the text at about 12 o'clock.

Any suggestions/solutions would be much appreciated.
 
You might try just using the segment of the path that you want (rather than a full circle) or you might try a different justification.

There are lots of tutorials for Fireworks available. You might try these as a start:
