How to unset special use of the character "/"?

I just installed Xubuntu 22.04 containing LibreOffice 7.3.3.2. When I type the slash character “/” (no quotes), type a word such as etc, then enter another slash, the first slash is deleted, and the print changes to italics. For example, typing “/etc/” turns into "etc/ (but italicized–I don’t know how to italicize here). How can I unset this behavior??? Thank you in advance…

*italics*  **bold** ***bolditalics***

italics bold bolditalics

The second slash remains?

Thank you, let’s see if that works…italics bold

Turns into etc/

LeroyG: I replied incorrectly. It turns in etc. No slashes…

Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect Options, Options tab

Untick Automatic *bold*, /italic/, -strikeout- and _underline_

While you’re here, check all options and disable those you don’t want.
