Hi Bill, 

If I understand your post correctly, I think this section of the manual
will help to accomplish what you are looking for---i.e., the creation of
special vertical lines in tables:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-groups.html#Column-groups

Also you change the appearance of tables using css. 

Best,
Matt
