ʺSlashed Zeroʺ Entering in Your Document

For some editing purposes, you may have a need to use a ʺSlashed Zeroʺ in your documents.

I personally prefer these as the zeros that have a slash through them.

This means they do not get confused with a Capital “O”

If you have a need to use this character, you have two choices.

First, you can find a font that actually uses the slashed zero in it.

If you use this character a lot, this is probably the best long‐term solution.

If you only need to use the character periodically, however, you can follow the steps outlined below:‐ ( Similar to the tip on Boxed Text )

1. Position the insertion point ( Cursor) where you want the slashed zero to appear.

2. Press CTRL+F9. Word inserts field braces. e.g. { }

3. Type in between the braces eq \o (0,/)

[ Detail in the brackets = 0 :‐: comma :‐: forward slash ]

4. Press SHIFT+F9. Word collapses your field and the slashed zero appears.
