Re: How does one insert an "R" With a CIRCLE AROUND IT?

If you are using a PC (not sure if this will work on a Mac or not), you can enter it directly from the keyboard. Wherever you want that symbol at (either during the typing of the original text or by moving the caret to an insert location), hold down the ALT key (and keep it down) while typing 0174 on the number pad. IMPORTANT... you must use the number pad to enter those numbers and the zero cannot be omitted.

I guess I should expand on the above a little bit. On a PC, you can physically type any character defined in a font with an ANSI value (sometimes mis-called an ASCII value) of 128 or above (maximum 255) using the above technique. Simply hold down the ALT key and key in 0 followed by the three-digit ANSI code from the number pad and that character will be "typed" in your text string.
