The Lists palette is not automatically updated as you work. When you make changes to text, you must update the list to be sure it is current. Clicking the Update button in the Lists palette scans the document for list items, and rebuilds a list in the Lists palette.

To update a list that you have already flowed into a text box, select the box, click Update to make sure the list is up-to-date, and then click Build. The application detects that there is already a copy of the list in the layout and displays an alert asking if you want to Insert a new copy of the list or Replace the existing version. To update the existing list, click Replace.
