Not "table captions".  Your index is composed of the Table Name(s).  To
confirm, use Table Properties to change a table name and update the index.

As a naive user, I would expect the label to refer to the relevant aspects that
I need to understand, and then look to the help page to find out what the words
mean.

Seems too optimistic (in this case) for the label to be "transparent" without
some experience creating some indices in this context, along with some reading
(even if just plus tooltip/extended tip).

Also relevant to consider the context in which this checkbox appears.

In the "Create From" section, with the checkbox under the Tables, etc. 

Even as a naive user, I would expect the index to use the objects that I check.
 Then, if I made an index (without checking the "Use level..." box), I would
see everything flush left, and then look at the label on the checkbox, and try
to guess from the words what it is doing (and then see if the help page could
give an idea of how to interpret those words).

For now ... even after considering and working with your three suggestions, I
keep coming back, for a variety of reasons, to:

[ ] Index by outline level of immediately prior heading

(immediately is needed because there can be multiple prior headings).

Primary reason is that it points to the relevant features that will affect the
output. Note that "Index" is also a verb.

Meanwhile -- thinking about how the dialog would appear from a naive user PoV
has motivated another trial balloon....bug 153770.
