Braces and consolidation

This table has a marking that shows content in one cell being applicable to multiple other cells using a curly brace. Use } or { in a vertical line in the table column in which it appears. Choose the direction based on the side of the large and small ends of the brace.

The second column heading of this table was also changed to one word per line since we have some leeway with tables and this allows for narrowing the width of the table. See also how the second line item under "Form" was wrapped more tightly. If you make changes, the important thing is that relationships between data are maintained.
