Whenever you write a document on Word, you can highlight important areas by making it italic, bold, or even underlining it. You can color the selected area or draw a shape around it to draw attention. This tutorial will show you how to circle text in Microsoft Word on Windows 11 systems.

Circle Text in Microsoft Word

Step-1: Open your document in Word.

Step-2: Locate the Insert tab at the top of the window and click on it.

Step-3: Click on Shapes, and you will see different shape options that you can use to surround your text.

Step-4: Unfortunately, an oval is the closest shape to an available circle. So click on this. You will find it in the Basic Shapes section.

Step-6: From the Shape Fill drop-down menu, select No Fill.

Step-7: If you want to change the outline's color, you can pick any color from theShape Outline drop-down menu.
