My guess is that OOo Math hasn't this feature at all. :-( I tryed even
LyX, and
that was able to do what I want, but, at least to me, in a cumbersome
way.
Is this what you were doing/using?
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=cancellation
And is that what you are looking for in Math?
If so, I don't know the answer, but the comparison between TeX and the
cancel.sty
(http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cancel/cancel.sty)
may
be of help to someone on the list who does know.

The intent is more of negation than cancelation. But any slash "overprint"
would suffices.
I think the nearest you can get using only OOo's Math is a horizontal dash
overprint obtained by using "overstrike R", so your formula would be "(x,y)
overstrike R". The "overstrike" command is one of the "attributes" shown on
the web page I cited in a previous post
(<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Math_commands_-_Reference#Attributes>).
Of course, you can use any letter, or even a sequence of letters, in place
of "R". So, for example, "overstrike aBc" puts a *continuous* horizontal
dash through the sequence "aBc".
One thing you could do is provide a footnote to the first use of this
notation in your document to explain what it means.
