Two possibilities addition to the table option:

Selecting the { and using Format | Drop Cap might give you what you
want--the third option looks good. (That increases the size of the { and
inserts a frame for you).

Selecting the 12pt text and using Format | Font | Character Spacing and
setting Position: Raised or Lowered might also be an option, though only if
you have one line of text after the { .

Is there a way to center text vertically of different fonts? I would like to
have a } with a 72 font size and text after it size 12 to appear in the
middle (vertically). Normally anything on the same line is flush bottom when
there are different sizes involved. Would I need to use a text box, or is
there some formatting I can do?
