You can insert the slash "O" symbol in a document using the Symbol dialog box (on the Insert menu, click Symbol) or by pressing CTRL+/ and then pressing SHIFT+O.

NOTE: Although the character generated by the following methods looks like a slashed zero, it is not a number and cannot be used as a number in calculations.
