Just press F2 first whenever you want to type: /
as the 1st character in the cell
(don't know why its special for: /, but the above will workaround it)

As for the apostrophe: '
I don't have problem typing it straight off into the cell,
but it won't show on screen (the ' displays only in the formula bar)
