Default Putting a number, such as 5, in a circle.

There are actually fonts that can do double figures; they do this by having
left and right halves for each number. If you google for "circled number
font," the first hit leads to CombiNumerals Pro. It's not free, but it's
only $14.95, and it can do even three-digit numbers, apparently. (Moreover,
there's evidently a freeware version that can do two digits.) And it looks
like you can add currency symbols, fractions, and other characters as well.

Other (pricier) options are at

The best plan would be to locate a font with numbers already encircled,
but most such fonts do not run to double figures - eg the free fonts
linked from http://www.gravic.com/remark/kb/?q=134
You could cobble something together with a series of EQ fields, but the
best plan might be to create the required number format using a graphics
application and use the graphics as 'bullets'
