I want to insert an optional space after a forward slash character so if
the
slash is at the end of a line of text in a document, the word following
the
slash will wrap to the next line. For example, if I type
"debtor/creditor", I
want "creditor" to wrap to the next line instead of pulling the entire
phrase
to the next line. WordPerfect used to do this automatically.
