Symbol Island Girl 19.07.2006 22:11:03 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.

Re: Symbol Island Girl 23.07.2006 20:08:01 What I needed was a thin, long brace. Suzanne's reply pointed me in the right direction. Thanks for your reply, Chris.
