--- Comment #1 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
The initial report was for Alphabetical Index, but the problem seems to be the
same for the other Index Types (e.g., Table of Figures, Index of Tables, etc.)

Relevant help pages exist for these other Types.

Additional information:

1.  If F1 is used, then relevant (existing) pages are shown.  
2.  But -- because the top half of the dialog box reuses material from Table of
Contents page, then F1 will also go to Table of Contents page.

Illustrative example.

1. Insert > Table of Contents and Index > Table of Contents, Index or
Bibliography - Type Tab.

2.   Under Type and Title, select Alphabetical Index

3a. Place cursor in Title box, press F1     
         Result:  Table of Contents Help page

3b. Place cursor in "Combine identical entries, press F1    
         Result:  Alphabetical Index Help page

3c. Please cursor anywhere,  press Help button
          Result:  Table of Contents Help page


Have not tested the other variations for the other Index types.

4.  Maybe there used to be only one help page (for Table of Contents) in the
past, so the dialog box is constructed in a way that this Help Button has
become the default for all the variations.

"TocIndexPage", &rAttrSet)
