Default How do I make a cell with vertical lines for number entry?

Remember those tests in school where you used a #2 pencil and had to
enter each number in its separate cell? So if you enter 123456 they
had lines between them. How would I make a cell that has room for six
digits? I have a form I print out that we enter numbers from machines
that are using a six digit counter. I want to be able to scan them in
using OCR. I thought it would help if there were vertical lines in
each box so that the numbers are in there correct place. I don't see
a way to do that using the properties box. How would I go about this?
I have Excel 97 and access to excel 2007.
Thanks
Russ
