I searched solution for this problem [how to "slash" a symbol] for long time. My poor solution but effective, is made two formulas one over other (¿superimposed? apology for my poor english).

("Superimposed" is exactly the right word.)

In Impress there isn't problem. In Write[r] we must mark anchor not "as character" and adjust must be "wrap through". For example in the first formula I write:

x R phantom{y}

In the second superimposed formula I write:

phantom {x} / y

You might want to make use of the Unicode character U+0338 "Combining long solidus overlay" (or the similar U+0337 "Combining short solidus overlay"). I don't see any way to insert special characters directly into the Formula window, but you can copy and paste them from the Writer window.

o In the Writer window, go to Insert | Special Character... .
o Select a suitable font - not all fonts will contain the required character.
o Scroll down to U+0338 and insert this into your text.
o Cut the character from the text and paste it into your Formula window, immediately after the character needing the overlay. It will appear superimposed.

You may need to experiment with fonts in the Formula facility (Format | Fonts...) to achieve something that displays as you desire. I suspect that there may be a risk of problems if you send the resulting document to others. Is it possible that a substituted font on a remote system will not contain the required character or not handle it correctly? But you should be able to use this technique reliably if you intend either to print the document or to export a PDF version - which will embed the required font and which you can easily view to check.

I trust this helps.
