how do i add vertical bars between words?

[scott]

I'm trying to create vertical lines -- like musical barlines -- to separate
words or lines of prose. Not slanted slashes. Also -- once I can do this,
could I alter size / font (e.g., bold)?

Shift-\ gives me a | on my keyboard (US layout). Select to edit. Once you
have it the way you like it, consider AutoCorrect or AutoText if it was a
hassle to format.

If you want a | that crosses several lines, that's possible too.

This character is called a "pipe" and should be found on all keyboards (it
is used in some DOS commands).
