Making words in a circle

I am using Fireworks CS4. I want to make a logo with a circle, and words going around an inner circle, on word at the top, one word at the bottom. Both being the correct way, the bottom curving around the circle at the top of the letters, and the top word around the circle on the bottom of the letter. I was wondering how to get the bottom word to do that. I have been working on it for about 2 hours and am getting frustrated lol. Thanks in advance.

Use two circles.
Ok, update to say a bit more:
Create your first circle, copy and paste (or ALT drag) to make a duplicate.
Create your top text, then your bottom text.
Menu:
Text-> attach to path
For both. Once half is attached to each circle, select the bottom one, and go to:
Text->reverse direction (Inverse).
Move them around and change the angles until it looks right, then group them.
See attached.

lol I have a main circle that is colored, and then a circle for each word. I just can't get the bottom word to curve around it along the top of the letters

Updated the above post. If you're still having trouble, post what you have and I'll show you how (though someone will likely answer before I see it).

Thanks, I got it just before I read your post lol. I just made a circle that was the size of the background circle, flipped the 2nd circle vertically, attached as path, and it worked lol. Then I had to do a circle that was half the size and attach the path to that one normal like, and it worked. Attached is the rough design. There is going to be a second smaller circle that goes centered on the inside, with a star inside that. I will also be changing the circle color. Don't know exactly what yet...I need a greyish background to go with the site design.

Terrific, glad you found it ("host" looks a bit skewed, though)!
