Vertical Bar???

brobilly · 05-18-2008, 06:29 PM

I would like to know how I can type a vertical bar between 2 words
like this "word|word" (I copied that). I use word 2000 but if there is another word processor which would be easier to use for this let me know
Please your help would be appreciated
thanks

I'd check INSERT>SYMBOL and see what you can find there. Depending on how it was installed, you may have quite a few different options available to you. You can also use the "pipe" key, which is typically located above the \ key on most keyboards. It shows up like | .

word|word

My keyboard has that as the uppercase option on the \ key, above the enter bar.
