Multiple line, one bracket [ ]
If you want very tall brackets, you could create a Field, but then
you'd have to specify the line breaks and formatting in a complicated way within the field. Perhaps creating them as graphics would be simplest? Or 3 columns, with a very large font size for the first and last columns holding just the bracket characters? Or a 3-column table set to Auto-Fit (but then again you'd have to manually enter the line breaks for the text in the middle).

You can't get *square* brackets, but you can get either rounded brackets
(sort of a compromise between square brackets and parentheses) or braces (curly brackets) as AutoShapes. Or you can use the Equation Editor to compose your text. -- Suzanne S.
