Vertical Bar tabulation
I haven't used the bar tab that way, but messed with it a bit based on your description. Indeed, it doesn't want to allow tab sets in the margin area. But I also have a work around for you.
Move the left indent to the edge of the page, set the tab as you usually do in the text area, then drag it to the desired point in the margin area. Now move your left indent marker back to its original position.
I know it's an extra step and not perfect, but it does save you from having to deep dive into the dialog boxes.

Wow Colleen! That is indeed a cool tip. It resolve the difficulty by over 90%. Dragging the left indent on the left edge gives me the freedom to do whatever I want with the vertical tab...
Really appreciate your time to get back to me on this one.
You get a 10 out of 10!!!

Glad I could help. We both know that Word is the ultimate Swiss Army Knife app, so there is always a way to make it do what we want it to do. ;-)
