Interesting, I put a vertical on a line to start an org-mode table and 
keyed data dictionary in followed by a space another vertical and a return 
key.  Then I put vertical followed by a space followed by variable 
followed by space followed by vertical followed by type followed by space 
followed by vertical followed by space followed by description followed by 
space followed by vertical followed by return followed by vertical 
followed by hyphen followed by tab.  I got onto line 4 in column 3 but 
line one acquired all of the verticals from line 2 in addition to what it 
already had.

| data dictionary |      |             |
| variable        | type | description |
|-----------------+------+-------------|
|                 |      |             |

There's no question there?  What you got is what is expected as you
defined a table as soon as you put a | at the start of a line and on
subsequent lines and a table has all rows with the same number of
columns.
