To draw a circle around text in Microsoft Word, you can use the drawing tools. First, go to
View and select
Toolbars. Check the box next to
Drawing, and a toolbar with various shapes and colors will appear. Click on
AutoShapes and select
Basic Shapes, then choose the
oval shape (which looks like a circle).
Next, click just outside the word or words you want to emphasize and
drag the mouse over the words to create the circle. Don't worry if the words disappear - just release the mouse when the shape has completely engulfed the word or words.
To format the circle,
right-click on the shape and select
Format Autoshape at the bottom of the box that appears. In the Format Autoshape box, go to the first section called
Fill and change the color to "
no fill" by clicking on the little arrow on the right of the drop-down selection. Click
OK to apply the changes.
