Karen, equal signs should show up in indexes   just fine, without any special treatment.  

The "\=" combination turns into em-dashes  because that's FM's built-in notation for adding some typesetting characters to dialog boxes and marker entries. In the FM6.0 manual check Appendix A, "Typing in Dialog Boxes" for a list of those key sequences. 

If you have an earlier version of FM, let us know.  

Do your equals signs still turn into an incorrect character in the index even when you don't escape them with the backslash?
