Thanks, Suzanne, you have saved me yet again, even including providing for
the deletion of the space that follows the field, and in the case of a zero
with a slash through it, showing me how I can provide a subscript just after
it, via the Alt-F9 editing capability you called my attention to.
I have just one remaining quibble. No doubt the publisher of my paper can
handle this, but why is the slash through the zero properly centered in one
of my examples and not in the other? Unfortunately, this forum format does
not recognize Word fields, but in the example below, the slash appears more
or less in the center of the final 'O' (after 'buried') but too far to the
left in the earlier instance (after 'and'). If it matters, I'm using a
capital 'O' instead of a zero.
She fell and O/i broke her hip vs. She died and they buried O/i)
Thanks,
Peyton Todd

For example, in writing mathematical notation, to designate an average
figure, one places a horizontal bar over the variable name. The same
notation
is used in linguistics to indicate a phrase at a particular level of
analysis. I have need of both of these, but how do I get Word to do it?
Thanks for your help,
