That's convincing. 

Like Thomas I'd suggest to enhance the ToC creation dialog and have

[ ] Combine identical entries
  (o) Use abbreviation, eg. 10ff.
  ( ) Use dash, eg. 10-13, 15
  ( ) Show first and last page, eg. 10-15
  [x] Case sensitive

Currently the ff and - options are mutually depending, you can check one only
if the other is off but also both can be off. Guess we can use the parent
"Combine" for this state and go with radio buttons.

Remaining question is whether such an index is possible at all. If we run into
trouble with a round-trip to OOXML or ODF load/save with external programs, it
requires enhancement of the format first.
