How do I draw a circle around text

[Guest]

I need to draw a circle around text so that I can indicate which answer is
correct. Example is
A. This is the wrong answer
B. This is the correct answer

I would draw a circle around B.

The following was posted a while back by MVP Suzanne Barnhill:

If you can get by with capital letters, the Bullets 2 font (which comes with
some Corel applications such as CorelDRAW! and WordPerfect) contains the
entire alphabet and 0-9 in circles, either black on white or reversed white
on black. If that doesn't suit, there may be other fonts available, or you
can laboriously overstrike a large circle and the character (or anchor a
drawing-object circle to the letter) and save these characters as AutoText
(don't laugh: I've had to do this).

Although Arial Unicode MS has a full set of "Enclosed Alphanumerics" that
could be used for this purpose, I'd be inclined to go with a graphic
approach in this particular instance. But I've also copped out by "circling"
the letter with a square box instead, using the Format | Borders and Shading
dialog to put a border around the selected letter.

Thanks very much. I was writing some training and by being able to show the correct answer in the answer section by showing it with a circle makes the training look more professional.
