typing a slash

J

I'm composing a letter in Word 2003 which has a checkbox
followed by a tab, followed by a sentence. Once I start
typing, there is the phrase "individual/family". As soon
as I try to type the slash, the slash moves itself to the
FIRST word which follows the checkbox. Needless to say,
this is driving me up the wall trying to figure out what
the hell this program is doing!!!!!!! Any suggestions on
eliminating this situation??

Thanks in advance,

Jim

It would seem you have probably inserted a Decimal Tab and the / character
is the first decimal character following the tab, so as soon as you type it,
it aligns with the tab.
