EffectTextOnPath.PlaceOnOtherSide property
Gets or sets whether or not the text is placed on the other side
Syntax:
Property Get PlaceOnOtherSide() As Boolean

The PlaceOnOtherSide property returns whether text is placed on the opposite side of the path in a text-on-path effect. A value of True places the text on the opposite side of the path object.
Examples:
The following VBA example places the text inside an ellipse.
Sub Test()
Dim sText As Shape, sPath As Shape
Set sText = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(0, 0, "Some Text")
Set sPath = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(4.25, 5.5, 2, 3)
sText.Text.FitToPath sPath
With sText.Effects(1).TextOnPath
  .Quadrant = cdrBottomQuadrant
  .PlaceOnOtherSide = True
  .DistanceFromPath = 0.1
End With
