a workaround could be this, I tried on my PC: using linux install an unicode character map like this: http://live.gnome.org/Gucharmap or http://gucharmap.sourceforge.net/ in windows I don't know the name but surely exist a similar click ctrl>F to enter in the search insert 0338 or the other overlay symbol, the slash will be showed on the map click on the lower bar where there is the symbols to copy type the letter you want to "slash through" for example "R" double click on the slash on the showed map click on the lower button "copy" goto in writer or math and paste math gives me this: vR̸ times <R> and correcly shows the "slashed through R" you could use the shorter slash on the left too hope this helps :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
