Curving text around a simple shape in Adobe Photoshop is a handy skill to know. For instance, you might want to create a circular logo with some text that surrounds it. Or a quick mockup of a rubber stamp. This wikiHow teaches you how to add a circled number (also known as an 'enclosed alphanumeric') to your Microsoft Word document. Open Microsoft Word. If you're using Windows, click the Windows menu, select Microsoft Office, then Microsoft. By Geetesh Bajaj, James Gordon. From pictures and graphs to SmartArt, you can easily add all sorts of objects to a Word document in Office 2011 for Mac. But after the object is inserted in your Word document, you’ll probably need to control how text wraps around it. Creating circular text is simple in Microsoft Word. With the WordArt feature, you can quickly arrange text in a partial or complete circle to suit your design needs. Since Microsoft Word is readily available for most computer users, it's the ideal tool with which to complete this project.

You can't draw a circle per se. But you can make something identical to a circle.
You'd have to create a rectangle with rounded corners (via

There are a few unicode circles you could use:

You can overlay text on the circles if you want to:
You could also use a custom font (like this one) if you want to have a higher chance of it looking the same on different systems since not all computers/browsers have the same fonts installed.

As of 2015, you can make it and center the text with as few as 15 lines of CSS (Fiddle):

You can use the border-radius attribute to give it a border-radius equivalent to the element's border-radius. For example:
(The reason for using the -moz and -webkit extensions is to support pre-CSS3-final versions of Gecko and Webkit.)

There is not technically a way to draw a circle with HTML (there isn’t a
<circle>
HTML tag), but a circle can be drawn.The best way to draw one is to add
border-radius: 50%
to a tag such as div
. Here’s an example:Community♦

border-radius: 50%;
will turn all elements into a circle, regardless of size. At least, as long as theheight
andwidth
of the target are the same, otherwise it will turn into an oval.Note: browser prefixes are not needed anymore for border-radius
Alternatively, you can use
clip-path: circle();
to turn an element into a circle as well. Even if the element has a greater width
than height
(or the other way around), it will still become a circle, and not an oval.In fact, you can use
clip-path
to turn elements into all kinds of shapesNote: clip-path is not (yet) supported by all browsers
You can place text inside of the circle, simply by writing the text inside of the tags of the target,
like so:

If you want to center text in the circle, you can do the following:

Just remember that wrapping text along a circular path is different from warping text in PhotoshopHow to Warp Text in Photoshop or IllustratorHow to Warp Text in Photoshop or IllustratorThere are plenty of ways to warp text in Photoshop or Illustration, but you have to be careful because they can look tacky if they aren't warped well.Read More — the latter tends to deform the text. However, both are used for some fantastic text manipulation and both are good to know.

How to Type Text in a Circle in Photoshop
- Select the Ellipse tool. Change the type to Path.
- Drag and draw to make a circle on your document. Press the Shift key as you drag to make a perfect circle.
- Select the Horizontal Type tool. From the Options bar select the font attributes like the style, size, and color of the text.
- The type tool is represented by a cursor in the shape of an “I” beam inside a dotted square. Move the cursor over the edge of the shape. The “I” beam changes to an “I” beam with a wavy line that resembles a sin curve.
- Click on the shape border in the spot where you want to start adding text. As you type, the text curves around the shape. Click the checkmark on the Options bar to finalize the text.
- To change the position of the circular text, select the Path Selection tool from the Tools panel. Drag the cursor outside the circle and over the text to rotate it to a new position. Drag the cursor inside the circle to flip the text and rotate the text inside the shape.
This is an example of the basic steps you need to follow to type circular text. But don’t let your creativity stop here. You can create a path of any shape or use the Pen tool and follow the same steps to create interesting text shapes. Try it with a custom shape (For e.g. a heart) and see what you can come up with.
