Anonymous

I am making 2x2 inch cards to go in a pocket chart; so I have a table in my Word document to do this.

Problem is, some of my cards have curly brackets; like this:

{Monday}

I WANT the brackets to print; but they won't! 

I even tried erasing the cell contents and using a text box; but they still won't print. 

What am I doing wrong?

Help!!!

    The braces }{ do print on my system.

    What happens if you print to pdf?

    This should be a public share.

    Keep in mind I wanted just a standard table with text but since it won't print the brackets I've added text boxes to try to get it to print so it's a mixture of text and text boxes.  Neither of them work.

    Yes, "Monday" prints.

    Alt+F9 does nothing.

    When you print, do you see "Monday" without the quotation marks?

    What happens if you press Alt+F9?
