Sometimes you may need to insert numbers or letters with circles in Word document, but you can’t type them directly or copy them from Internet every time. So how to insert circled numbers and letters in Word exactly?
To answer this question, I’ll share the detailed steps in the post. You can have a try following this guide.
Insert Circled Numbers from Symbol
1. One of the most commonly used way to insert circled numbers or letters is using Symbol.
2. Go to Insert tab, click Symbol and choose More Symbols… in the drop-down list.
3. Choose Windings, Windings 2 or Wingdings 3 as the font in Symbols tab, then scroll down to find the circled numbers. Click Insert to add the specified number to your document.
4. Note: you can only insert numbers from 1-10 with circles in this way. So if you want to insert larger numbers or letters with circles, please try the second method.
Insert Circled Number or Letter Using Enclose Characters
There’s a feature called Enclose Characters in Word, you can make use of it to insert circled numbers as well as letters.
1. Switch to Home tab, click the icon of Enclose Characters in Font section.
2. Enter the number or text you want to add circle in the textbox, then make the choice of Style and Enclosure. Click OK to implement it.
3. You can also select the existing letter in advance and click Enclose Characters to circle it. But don’t forget the maximum number of characters you can circle is 2.
4. As for circling 2 characters, like 2 letters or numbers larger than 9, you’ll find the result isn’t very well even if you choose Enlarge symbol in Style.
5. To make it looks better, you can press [Alt+F9] to switch to field mode. The circled number I just entered will be displayed as below:
6. The circle and the number are both in the parentheses, you can select the number to shrink its size.
7. It’s not enough cause the number will still be on the lower part of the circle. To raise its position, you can select the number and click the small arrow at the lower right corner of Font section in Home tab.
8. Switch to Advanced in the popping out Font window, choose Raised in the drop-down list of Position and click OK.
9. Then you can press [Alt+F9] to check the result. If it can still not satisfy you, just keep switching the mode to make adjustments till it finally looks good.
Insert a Circle Shape and Add Text to It
This method is not that frequently used, but it still works under certain circumstance. For example, if you want to circle more than 2 characters, the normal means may not help at all while this one does.
1. Switch to Insert tab, click Shapes and choose the oval shape in the list.
2. Hold your [Shift] key while dragging mouse to draw the shape. It will help you to draw a perfect circle instead of oval.
3. You can drag the vertices of it to move or resize it, but don’t forget holding [Shift] while resizing it, otherwise it will become oval again.
4. And if the color isn’t right, just double click the circle to enable Drawing Tools, you can change the setting in Shape Fill and Shape Outline.
5. Then right click the circle and choose Add Text in the menu.
6. A textbox will be created inside the circle, you can type any text in it and adjust its font and size.
But you can do very little to adjust the text added in this way – you can’t even move it freely.
Instead, you can try changing the text into WordArt in advance.
7. Click WordArt in Insert tab to choose a style and type the text in the textbox.
8. Then you can freely resize and move the new created WordArt to adapt the circle.
9. Circled numbers and letters created in this way allow you to adjust them freely, but you must make corresponding changes to both the circle and the WordArt inside it, since they won’t match with each other automatically.

In Microsoft Word, circling around text can place emphasis or enhance the text appearance. There are a few methods you can choose in Word documents and you’re not limited to circles.
We’ll show how to add a simple circle like this, plus a lot more.
Add shape to document
Go to Insert | Illustrations | Shapes
For our example we’ve chosen the Oval shape under Basic Shapes.
Now, hold down your cursor and drag the circle over the text.
Now, make sure the shape has been selected. We change the formatting under Shape Format | Shape Styles to make it into a transparent circle.
- Shape Fill – choose No Fill, so that it doesn’t cover your text.
- Shape Outline – choose a color of your choice that will really stick out on the page.
- Weight – choose the thickness of the line.
- Sketched – add more of a sketched look to your line.
- Dashes – choose between different dashed lines.
Sketchy or hand-drawn effect
For a rough, hand-drawn line effect go to Shape Outline | Sketchy .
Really hand drawn shape
Yet another option is to really draw a line or shape around the words using the Draw tab. You don’t need a digital pen, just a mouse is enough. Go to the Draw tab, choose a pen, pencil etc and a color.
Add text within a shape
Another way around it is adding text within a shape. This means the text will move with the shape.
Go to Insert | Illustrations | Shapes.
Select your preferred shape.
Right click on the shape and select ‘Add Text’.
Type your text within the shape. If you need more room for text, drag the yellow dot up to ‘fatten’ the star shape
Double-click inside the shape to bring up options to change the Font style from the mini-toolbar. Of course all the formatting options are also on the Home tab.

There are many ways to make text stand out in your document. You can format the font in bold or italic or highlight the text using color. For another option, we’ll show you how to circle text in Microsoft Word.
You may want to place a circle around text to emphasize it. But you might also want to use that circled text to enhance the appearance. Whatever your reason, circling text in Word takes only a couple of steps.
Add a Shape to the Document
Open your Word document and go to the Insert tab. Click “Shapes” to view the available options.
The closest shape to a circle is the oval, which works well for circling text. Choose that option in the Basic Shapes section.
Your cursor changes to a plus sign. Click and then drag to draw the oval on your document. You can make it as large or small as you like to accommodate the text you want to circle. But remember, you can resize the shape later as well.
Now that you have your shape, you may need to adjust it so that you can see the text you circle. You can also make optional changes to the line size or color.
Format the Circle Around the Text
You can use the Shape Format tab to customize your shape.
RELATED: How to Add and Format Text in a Shape in Microsoft Word
If your shape has a fill color that you need to remove, select the shape and pick “No Fill” in the Shape Fill drop-down box on the Shape Format tab.
This allows you to place the circle over the text and see only the outline of the shape.
To adjust the line of the circle, select the Shape Outline drop-down arrow. You can then change the line color, weight, and style.
As you make your changes, you’ll see your circle update immediately. So, you can get just the right look.
Move and Resize the Circle
You can move the shape so it’s on top of the text you want to circle by simply dragging it.
If you need to make the circle larger or smaller, drag a corner or edge in or out.
You can make these adjustments to your shape until you see the ideal circle.
If your preferred method of making text pop in your document is by circling it, you can do this in just minutes. And by using the Shapes feature in Microsoft Word, you’ll have a nicely drawn circle.

Written by Allen Wyatt (last updated February 5, 2021)
This tip applies to Word 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016
When Des writes paper notes, she often puts squares around certain letters or numbers and circles around others. This is her own «code» that allows her to key in on information she needs to pay attention to. Des can relatively easily put squares around letters or numbers in a Word document (using borders), but she hasn’t found a way to add circles.
There are actually a few ways you can go about this. One way, of course, is to use the graphics capabilities built into Word to create a shape (a circle) that can be placed around any letters or numbers you desire. A quick way to do this is to customize the Quick Access Toolbar so it includes the Oval tool. (How you customize the QAT has been covered in other WordTips. The Oval tool is found by listing All Commands during the configuration process.)
Once the Oval tool is in place, click on it and you can then use the mouse pointer to draw the circle. Just hold down the Shift key as you click and drag, and you are guaranteed of a perfect circle. Of course, the circle is filled in with a color, but all you need to do is use the Fill tool (on the Format tab, visible immediately after drawing the circle) to choose No Fill. You can even right-click the circle and choose Set As Default. This assures that the next use of the Oval tool results in a no-fill shape. (You’ll still need to hold down Shift, however, to ensure you create a circle.)
The benefit to this approach is that you can make the circle any size you want and any color you want. The drawback is that it adds graphic shapes to your document—they can sometimes be difficult to position and they increase the size of your document file.
Another approach is to «enclose» your characters. This is achieved through a different command you can add to the Quick Access Toolbar. When configuring, again display All Commands and look for one named Enclose Character. When you’ve added it to the QAT, use it by selecting some text (either one or two characters, no more) and then clicking the tool. You then see the Enclose Character dialog box displayed. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1. The Enclose Character dialog box.
Here you can select how you want the text affected (shrunk or enlarged) and what type of shape you want to use to enclose the text (circle, square, triangle, etc.). When you click on OK, the text is adjusted through the use of an EQ field. You’ll need to play with this approach a bit to determine if it works just the way you want.
A third way you can tackle this problem is to use a font that already has characters enclosed within circles. This is actually built into Word 2007, Word 2010, and Word 2013. Follow these steps:
- Position the insertion point where you want the circled text.
- Display the Insert tab of the ribbon.
- In the Symbols group, click the Symbol tool and then choose More Symbols. Word displays the Symbol dialog box.
- Using the Font drop-down list, choose Arial Unicode MS.
- Make sure that the From drop-down list is set to Unicode (Hex).
- Using the Subset drop-down list, choose Enclosed Alphanumerics. (You will need to scroll through the drop-down options a ways to find this.) (See Figure 2.)
- Select the symbol you want to use. (If you scroll down a bit you’ll also find circled uppercase letters and circled lowercase letters.)
- Click Insert.
- Close the Symbol dialog box.
Figure 2. The Symbol dialog box.
The drawback to this approach is that it works only for the numbers 1 through 20 and for single letters (uppercase or lowercase). These steps also won’t work in Word 2016 because—for some inexplicable reason—Microsoft removed the Arial Unicode MS font, and it seems that none of the installed fonts has the Enclosed Alphanumerics subset included. You could, of course, search the Web for a downloadable font that would include circled characters.

- Open Microsoft Word
- Launch a new document
- Navigate to Shapes
- Select the circle shape
- Draw the shape in your document
- Edit Shape Format
- Drag circle over text
1] Open Microsoft Word

2] Launch a new document
After you’ve fired up Word, you must now click on Black Document to open a new document, or launch one you’ve been working on before; the choice is yours.
3] Navigate to Shapes
The next step, then, is to locate the Shapes area. To do this, click on Insert > Shapes. You will see a dropdown menu showcasing several different types of shapes. The options to choose from are as follows:

- Callouts
- Start and Banners
4] Select the circle shape
From under the Basic Shapes category, please click on the circle icon, or to be more correct, the oval icon.
5] Draw the shape in your document
After selecting the circle, you must press and hold the left-click button, then drag to create the circle in the preferred size and position.
6] Edit Shape Format
By default, the circle will be added to your document with a color-filled center. This means, the text won’t show on the inside, so we need to change this.
To get it done, click on the shape, then select Shape Format > Shape Fill > No Fill. Doing this will remove the color from within the center of the circle.
From there, you can click on Shape Outline to determine the color of the circle’s outline.
7] Drag circle over text
The final thing you will want to do, then, is to drag the circle over the preferred line of text. Adjust the circle to allow the text to fit perfectly in the center, or in whichever form you wish.
