It's not just a backslash. It's a backslash followed by a space, which is interpreted as a non-breaking space. In dialog boxes, the backslash is the "escape" character that signals FrameMaker to interpret the following character(s) as the code for a special character that cannot be typed directly. Such things as en-dashes, em-dashes, non-breaking spaces, trademark symbols, etc. See Appendix A of the FrameMaker User Guide.
