From Insert > Indexes and Table > Indexes and Tables, set up the 
"Index/Table" tab as desired.

On the "Entries" tab, for each level you're using:
- Select the level in the left-hand list
- Click in the white box betwee "E#" ("Chapter Number") and "E" 
("Entry") under "Structure and Formatting"
- Click "Tab Stop"
- Set an appropriate position for the tab stop

Insert the illustration, then select it and use Insert > Caption. Make 
sure the category is set to Illustration. That inserts a reference which 
is recognised by the Table of Illustrations.

Similarly, create the table, position the cursor somewhere within it and 
use Insert > Caption; the category should be Table.

Probably in the Writer Guide at 
<http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/>, but I haven't 
looked to check...

Mark.
