How do I combine a / and a 0 so the / overprints the 0? I can't find a
special character or symbol and I don't know how to combine the two
characters. I'm using Microsoft Word 2003 on Windows XP.

Thanks.

Even though it's for a bar, you can use the same technique to combine any
two characters. I recently needed a symbol that looked like a capital Y in
Arial with a filled in dot inside. Those directions helped me create it.
(Thank you Suzanne!)

Does that do basically the same thing that the overbar directions do?

It's just a bit more targeted. I found that people who wanted to combine
characters in this way often weren't reading to the bottom of the Overbar
article to find that information.

Indeed. The OP means how to get Ø (either as Capital or as normal
character), used in Scandinavian languages. This can be inserted of
course via Insert/Symbol..

I don't think so, Henk. The OP specifically asked about / and 0, not O.
