Just because you use it for labels doesn't mean everyone will. Name it
for what it does...it puts text in a circle. Label_Text() is both overly
specific (the macro can be used for things other than labels) and overly
vague. (What kind of label?) The original Circle_Text() could also be
used for labels, as could an ordinary text object. It is another version
of the Circle_Text() macro with some added functionality, so it should
be named as such.

I agree with you. I had been thinking of the plural name Circles_Text, then
that was out since it only does one per. Brings it back to Circle_Text2,
like you suggested.
Anyway... I'm not much on naming things, I guess. Esp. when it's just a
change to a current macro, meaning it is the same thing with only a bit of a
difference. It would have been better if it were a whole new one by itself.
Except it fits in with what the Circle_Text does already.
