following a curve in a different direction?

Hi, I have a problem with letting half of a UV sphere following a curve:

The curve is a name, and I want to let half a UVsphere follow that curve, so later on I can add some effects to it, so the final resolt would be that the name is burned out of a plate…

To lett the sphere follow the curve I toke the following steps:

  • I first selected the sphere, than the curve
  • I pressed ctr + p, and choose the option ‘follow curve’

This all went very wel: the sphere followd the curve, but: in the wrond direction! => let’s say the name was ‘blender’, the curve started with the ‘r’ en ended with the ‘b’… I didn’t find out how to change the direction of the sphere… :s

Anyone any sugestions? (Twisting the curve is not an option, there the word is in mirror than…)
