Formula Effector Issue

I am using Formula Effector to create a text “typing in” effect. The text is spline wrapped to a circle path. Six words in total, the first three work perfectly. The last three words “Prices” “Terms” and “Promotions” jump backward along the path right as they finish. I have spent the last hour tweaking and trying everything I can think of with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the file.

Thank you!

I just figured it out, I selected “Fix Bounding Box” in the Spline Wrap Attributes for each word. I is working perfectly now. Thanks to all anyway!

Thanks a lot, Devoted, to answer your own question.

For everyone following along: Yes, the Bounding Box, while set to fixed, sets a defined space; otherwise, the Bounding Box changes, and the animation might jump with it.

My best wishes for your project
