Default I need a R with a circle around it

Unlikely that someone named "Jezebel" would be either. No guarantees that
the poster is using her (his?) actual name; "Electra Krelie" looks
suspiciously close to "Electrically" to me. It could be just a screen name -
you know, like "grammatim" - so yes, it *is* unlikely that "Electra" is male
but certainly not impossible. And since there's no DNA test required to gain
entry to the NGs...

But I think we might be getting a bit OT here, don't you?

And speaking of assumption, how can we be so sure that the OP is even a
"she"? ;-P

"She knows _some_ method for getting C-in-a-circle..."

How can you be so sure? Assumption is a dangerous thing. It could be
that all she knows is that it's possible to create the copyright symbol
© without any knowledge of how it's done - even that's not a certainty
based on the content of the original post:

"I am looking for a R with a circle around it, like the C for
copyright."

She mightn't even be aware that a copyright symbol can be created in
Word.

Perhaps a better approach would have been to say something like:

"Do you know how to use (c) to create a "copyright" symbol? The method
for creating a "registered" symbol is similar: type "(r)" (without the
quotes) and press the spacebar, and Word should convert it to ®
automatically. If it doesn't, let us know and we'll try to help you
figure out another method."

Try reading what has been written without applying your own
interpretation. It might help to avoid making mistakes and the resultant
needless, pointless and fruitless attempts to prove your infallibility.

She knows _some_ method for getting C-in-a-circle, and the ways of
getting R-in-a-circle are parallel.

Actually, the OP doesn't mention (c) at all.

I assumed she'd already tried that, since she seemed to know about
(c).

What happens if you type (r)? By default, it should automatically

®.
