When entering text into a rectangle or circle, is there a command to center the text equaly on all sides. If so what is the command and how does it work?

Hi travo687 and welcome to the forums!
1) Set the insertion point for your text to be Middle Center.
2) For circles, when inserting text, use the Center Osnap to lock onto the center of the circle.
3) For rectangles if you are using 2017, use the Geometric Center Osnap. If using older versions you will either have to create construction lines, or use other Osnaps such as Apparent Intersection or Object Snap Tracking.

For a rectangle use Justification MC, then osnap to the opposite corners of the rectangle or even the midpoint of the upper and lower lines. For the circle you can snap to the center of the circle twice or the opposite quadrants.

M2P or MTP [called "Mid Between 2 Points" in the Ctrl+right-click Osnap list] and snap to opposite corners or edge midpoints. That's not an available Osnap mode in too-old versions [e.g. I know it wasn't there in 2004], but it's been around for a while.
