Default curly bracket?

Hi Raie

I would just use a { and make the font size really big and experiment with
different fonts until I got the effect I was after. You don't have to use the
standard font sizes - just type any number in the font size box on the
formatting toolbar. Probably best to pop it in its own text box for ease of
positioning relative to what you want to bracket together.

Hope that helps

Raie,
There is a curly bracket in the AutoShapes. Click on the AutoShapes button
in the drawing toolbar, under basic forms you will find the curly brackets
at the bottom of the dialog. Select and drag, adjust if necessary using the
yellow diamond like shape.
