Brackets in Power Point

[Joe Morris]

Hi,

Use the autoshapes button on the drawing toolbar. Then click on basic
shapes. There you will find brackets that you can overlay and resize any
way you like. This is really a special line draw feature; it will not
automatically move with your text if you change the font, line spacing, etc.
You would have to change it manually if you move the text. Maybe someone
else knows another workaround.

Good luck.

Choose the set of brackets (rather than the left/right individual ones)
and type your text in them. They will resize with the text just like any
other autoshape.
