MS Word Equation Editor: vertical bar in subscript / conditional probability notation

(Seems that I don't have enough reputation to make the screenshots being drawn directly...)
I can already write the probability density function (pdf) of two variables like this:
The unprocessed equation code for this is f_(X,Y) (x,y)
But further on, I want to replace the subscript X,Y with X|Y=y to indicate the pdf of a conditional probability.
The equation code f_open X|Y=yclose (x,y), afaik the best option when using the pipe / vertical bar, yields this ugly representation:
So my current workaround is the code f_(XIY=y) (x,y) yields this, when formatting the I as not italic:
Does anyone know of a better way to do this?

When I create this formula in Microsoft Word 2010, I don't get the same visual result as you have in your screenshot. I don't get all the space around the equals sign.

@CindyMeister Thanks, now I finally get the meaning of the Super User board. So what's the recommended workflow now? Delete here and repost in Super User? I found out the answer btw - the pipe needs escaping using a backslash.
