Let me see if I understand what you want to do. You are use to
writing xRy to mean that the ordered pair (x,y) is a member of the
relation R. For example, let the relationship R be the square function:
y=x². Then (2,4), (3,9), and (4,16) are all members of this relation. In
OOo's Math this would be written as (2,4) in R, (3,9) in R, and (4,16)
in R. Math replaces the "in" with an epsilon. Similarly, (5,21) notin R
states that the ordered pair (5,21) is not in the relationship defined.
Math replaces the "notin" with an epsilon having a forward slash through it.
If I understand the use of xRy in MS Word, it refers only to
relations that are binary. Math on the other hand allows for relations
which includes three or more variables as in (x,y,z) in R, (w,x,y,z) in
R, etc.
Perhaps this will help. Otherwise, you need to be very specific as
to what xRy means in MS Word.

That makes sense, although if it is possible I don't know how. The
best I can find is overstrike{R} which does a horizontal line. Perhaps
someone else here might know for sure?

Thanks for the quick response.
I'll try to clarify. "R" stands for any relation, not the set for reals.
It could be "S" or any other letter. See below:
x in y
x notin y
The difference between the two lines is that the last shows a slash over
the "in" (or "belongs"?) symbol. Similarly:
x=y
x<>y
The second line shows a "slashed" equal sign, which means "unequal".
I'd like the same effect:
xRy
x"not R"y
Of course, the last line doesn't work, but what I need a "slashed" R
between x and y.
Is it possible?
Thanks again.

Not having access to MS software to check your examples, I'm not
entirely sure what you're after, but do any of these help?
(x,y) in setR
newline
newline
(x,y) notin setR
newline

overline{(x,y)} in setR

(x,y) in bar setR
