I have a document that has a "}" in it that is about an inch long, but still
very thin. When I try making a drawing object out of it, it becomes too
thick.

Any ideas? I thought it might be in the equation section, but I can't find
it anywhere.

Thanks for your help.

Don't understand the question, can you change the font or the point size, or
make it bold?

Cheers,

Chris.

There are brace AutoShapes on the AutoShape menu on the Drawing toolbar. You
can make them any size you like and change the line weight as needed.

I can't believe I didn't know that! Thanks for rescuing me again, Suzanne!

What I needed was a thin, long brace. Suzanne's reply pointed me in the right
direction.

Thanks for your reply, Chris.
