Tools->Preferences->Output->LaTeX->Tex Encoding was set to "default" on my
system. After I set it to T1, the extraneous text no longer occurred. I set it
back to default, and the extraneous text came back.
So, if anyone has indexing problems and sees range type index code that looks
like this:
\index{chapter 2|(@chapter 2\textbar{}(}
instead of this:
\index{chapter 2|(}
then the most likely solution is to set Tools->Preferences->Output->LaTeX->Tex
to T1.
THE ONLY REMAINING TASK is to understand the meaning of T1. What is it? It's
the set of characters that you will be using in the document -- the set of
characters you will be restricted to. For instance, the following is the T1
encoding:

The following is OT1, which looks a heck of a lot like ASCII to me:

Here's where the plot thickens. I've read that if you select a specific font
encoding like T1, it can change the font version that your document uses:

Could someone please explain the info in the preceding URL to me? In fact, a
lot of my stuff IS fuzzy when viewed in xpdf.
Vincent and everyone else -- thanks so much for your help!
