You can use Equation Editor to do this (Insert Object Microsoft Equation Editor; if it isn't there, you'll need to rerun the Office installer, do a custom install, and choose it from Office Tools). Alternatively, you can draw brackets with the line tool from the Drawing toolbar. Although you can sort of do it with a 3-column borderless table (center column for the text, left & right for the brackets), if you use a large enough type size to cover 3 lines, then the brackets will be so thick that they'll look odd. The Equation Editor compensates for this effect automatically. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Display the Drawing toolbar. There are sizable large brackets on the
AutoShapes Basic Shapes sub menu. Get your text right first, then position your brackets as floating graphics over the top. Depending on what you're doing, it might be easier to put the text into a borderless textbox, then group the textbox and brackets to create a single object.
