3. Click on "More Symbols" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
4. In the "Symbol" tab, select "Mathematical Operators" from the "Subset" drop-down menu.
5. Scroll down until you find the brackets you want to use. There are several options, including left and right brackets, curly brackets, and square brackets.
6. Click on the bracket you want to use and then click on the "Insert" button.
7. The bracket will be inserted into your document at the location of your cursor.

To control formatting within the brackets, you can simply type your text inside the brackets and then use the formatting options in the "Home" tab of the ribbon to adjust the font, size, alignment, and other settings as needed. You can also adjust the size of the brackets themselves by selecting them and then using the font size drop-down menu in the "Home" tab.

If you need to insert multiple lines of text within the brackets, you can use a line break (Shift + Enter) to create a new line. You can also adjust the spacing between lines by selecting the text and then using the line spacing options in the "Paragraph" group of the "Home" tab.
