Default Zero Width Space

Unfortunately, in Word 2000 you can do that only if you're writing in
an Asian language. You can insert a "no-width optional break" from the
Insert Symbol Special Characters dialog, but it doesn't work in
English. You need at least Word 2002 to get this functioning
correctly. See

for details.

I've heard there is such a creature -- lets you use a slash, but lets
the work break at the right margin. So typing "petitioner/respondent"
can do a line break thusly:

* * * petitioner/
respondent * * *

In Word 2000, how do I get a zero-width space?
