Microsoft Word Vertical Line
I have a timeline of events in my CV, where each event is described by a single paragraph. Some paragraphs are logically enclosed by others (such as an internship during studies), which I want to symbolize by a vertical line on the left side.
Mysterious straight lines in WORD that won't delete. (Note: it actually it is a Text bottom border applied to that line. There are a couple dozen different types of borders you can select, but six of them you 'can type' to have it applied to the bottom of the text line.) The six characters are Underline , Pound (#), Dash (-), Asterisk (.). In addition to the other answers here, you can also cause a vertical line to be included at a tab stop. Click in the tiny box at the left side of the horizontal ruler to select the tab stop “line” type (a vertical bar), then click in the ruler area where you want the line to appear. Related Questions.

Vertical Line In Word
What's the best way to accomplish this?
I have tried:
Using tables. The width of cells in tables is limited by the empty space it must contain (symbolized by the circle with four 'pins' around), thus shading appropriately merged cells does not work. I thought about adding a vertical line or a box to the cell, but I cannot figure out how to fit the cell consistently (if they would be off by a consistent margin, that would work, too. It's a design question)
Using paragraph formatting. Since you can add borders to a paragraph, I tried it, but this only works on a single 'level', since obviously you cannot embed paragraphs within each other
- Using bar-tabs. You can add tabstops and set them to display a bar. However I seem to be unable to configure them to match my design (such as color and thickness)
I am trying to to this in Word, but I am also happy to use Latex.
Thanks for your input!

My choice would be to use formatting styles for lists (outlining), e.g. Level1, Level2 etc. Set the format of the style as you want, with leader, color etc. to keep it consistent.
That said, most CV's and résumés are evaluated by PC applications before a person looks at them. Keep it simple to have the best chance of being forwarded top a human. [BTW, did you intern at SwearShop or at SweatShop? It may be pedantic to criticize a humorous example, but any error on a real CV might cause HR to regard it negatively.]
