How do I bracket several lines of text?
I often need a large brace over 3 or more lines of text. For example, if I
am attempting to demonstrate that three lines of a recipe are also known as by a single term, I would like a brace to the right encompassing the 3 lines of text, with a single term at it's crest (center). This is simple in Word Perfect, but I can't figure out how to do it in MS Word 3000. |

In Word you'd use Insert-Autoshape and select the bracket shape from the
Autoshape toolbar menu. Draw it to the right of your text. Then double-click to the right of the crest where you want to type, and it should give you the blinking insertion point to type. (if it doesn't, check Tools-Options-Edit and turn on "Enable Click and Type") -- ----------------------------------------- This posting is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |

I will see if I can figure out to make macros for the dimensions I use most often. Thanks again for the help. |

Create one you like and make an AutoText entry of it.
