Use the Insert Symbol dialog (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm). Select the Arial
Unicode MS font, and select "Enclosed Alphanumerics" in the Subset dropdown.
You'll find there all the numbers from 1 to 20 in circles. For some reason a
zero in a circle follows all the circled letters.

If you use these a lot, you can assign keyboard shortcuts to them by
clicking the button at the bottom of the dialog.

Or.. and it depends how small you want the circle - you could open the
drawing toolbar, click the oval & hold down shift as you draw it, then click
the fill color (paint pot) and click none. you can adjust the position of the
circle when selected by using Ctrl & the arrow keys.
Just another way .....

Moreover, if you right-click on the AutoShape and choose Add Text, a textbox
will be inserted in the circle.

Thumbs up Answer: How to insert small circle and type inside it

Sure, I can help you with that!

Here are the steps to insert a small circle and type inside it in Microsoft Word:
  1. Open a new or existing Word document.
  2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the top menu bar.
  3. Click on the "Shapes" button in the "Illustrations" section.
  4. Scroll down to the "Basic Shapes" section and select the "Oval" shape.
  5. Click and drag your mouse on the document to draw the oval shape. Hold down the "Shift" key while dragging to make it a perfect circle.
  6. Right-click on the circle and select "Add Text" from the drop-down menu.
  7. Type the number or text you want to appear inside the circle.

That's it! You now have a small circle with text inside it. You can resize the circle by clicking and dragging the corners, and you can change the color and style of the circle by selecting it and using the formatting options in the "Shape Format" tab that appears when you click on it.
