I have no idea how you'd find it in Help (in fact, I don't think it *is* in
Help. Klaus has an article about it at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NoWidthSpace.htm, but again I'm not
sure what search terms would turn this up.

The "zero width non-joiner" does exactly what I wanted. How could one ever
think to look this up in the help index?

Thanks everyone for your comments and good work.

That's interesting. Since I can never remember the right number, I
inserted
a No-Width Optional Break using Insert | Symbol | Special Characters and
then used Alt+X to get the number, and it showed 200C, which is labeled
ZERO
WIDTH NON-JOINER. Although it displays as a pipe in the Symbol dialog,
it is
displayed as the nested rectangle in the document. Moreover, "(normal
text)"
(TNR in this instance) doesn't contain the glyph 200B.

Not as such, but you can insert a No-Width Optional Break after the
slash
using Insert | Symbol | Special Characters or 200C, Alt+X.

Close: 200B
