How do I add large non-curly brackets?

[Maria24]

Hello , I d like to add some brackets in a presentation. I m talking about
the brackets next to the P letter on the keyboard , but not the curly
brackets.

I can't find them in the Auto - Shapes menu , and resizing them to the
maximum size (96) isn't enough for me.

Thanks for your help

Good There is no maximum size. While the pull-down menu only shows
fonts sizes up to 96 pt, you can give any size you want by typing the size
manually.

You can type the font size you want in the font box.

If you want an autoshape, it's the one named "left bracket" (or "right
bracket") in the Basic Shapes section of the Autoshapes. Use the yellow
diamond to make the corner perfectly square.

Good news then!

96 isn't the maximum, just TYPE in a larger number to the drop down box -
say 250

You know, none of us mentioned that she may need to press Tab or Enter (I
forget which) to make the larger, typed-in size "take."
