Hi
I am automating case captions for legal pleadings. I have a system that does everything but ONE thing. Local court rules won't allow a vertical line. So instead of Word automatically incrementing a right border every time I enter a new line in a table cell; I need to find a way to end each line with a ")". IOW, a vertical line of right justified closed parens, one for each line in the left cell of the table.

I have tried adding a narrow middle cell column in the table just to contain the ")". But can not figured how to auto add a ")" every time a line is added to the left table cell.

I have also thought about trying to substitute a ")" as a custom border, but Word 2013 seems to only allow the silly baked-in graphic images as an alternative to lines for borders.

Thanks in advance for taking time to help with this problem.
