I want to take a column of numbers and use the curly bracket to group them
together and write one comment about them. ie.
1
3 } These three circuits are for Lathe #2
5
I would like the bracket large enough to encompass all 3 numbers and be able
to write a comment in line with the bracket. This is done all the time with
pen and paper.

Thanx for any help.

One way is to write the items as ordinary text, then display the Drawing
toolbar and click AutoShapes Basic Shapes, choose the right bracket from
the bottom row of the gallery, and draw it where you want it. Resize it by
dragging the handles as needed.

Another way is to use the Equation Editor (Insert Object Microsoft
Equation Editor), choose the right bracket from the Fence Templates button
on the floating toolbar, then insert a properly sized matrix template into
the placeholder and enter your items there.
