How To Reverse Text With Surface Text?

Hi. I am a newbie to both 3D and On Shape and appreciate all the help I can get.
I have used surface text to create a curved text and want to reverse text like I can when using Sketch text. I cannot see how to do this.
Thanks
Randy

Use "Text" instead. The latest, Release 3, does all this stuff:

Thank you. I loaded it and it seems to be very powerful. I don't fully understand how to use. Are there any tutorials of the basics?
The document itself contains an examples folder with many different part studios showcasing various aspects of the tool. I'd recommend you make a copy and go through the examples and modify the features.
It is powerful but not complicated. Just experiment! That's part of the fun ;)
