2. Click on the "Insert" menu and select "Shapes".
3. Choose the circle shape from the list of shapes.
4. Click and drag the mouse to draw a circle around the text.
5. Right-click on the circle and select "Format Shape".
6. In the "Format Shape" dialog box, go to the "Line Color" tab.

You can draw an autoshape circle around the word, then right click the
border of the circle and select format autoshape, then set transparency to
zero, then click in another cell to de-select
