Hi Steve,

Well, that does indeed work, but I have noticed that JAWS is identifying the 
figure as an o or an umlaut O.  This is despite the fact that sighted people 
tell me it's definitely the 0 figure with a slash.

Scott,

In the olden days of DOS you would hold down the alt key and  enter 0216 on
the keypad and this would  put a slashed zero at the spot where the cursor
was.  Not sure if there is anything similar in Windows.

Not sure  what you are trying to do, but  there are a lot of Windows fonts
with slashed zero.  Google search for "slashed zero font" or "ham radio
font" will kick up a bunch.    Some logging programs use these fonts so
sighted hams can tell  the zero from the o.
