insert optional space after forward slash character
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. |

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your solution worked perfectly. I'll make a
shortcut key or a teensy macro to insert this work-around in the future. Sorry it took me so long to reply--I forgot to check for a reply when it got busy in the office. "Suzanne S.
