The Lists palette helps you view and generate lists. This feature is useful for creating things like tables of contents. You can create lists in the Lists dialog box (Edit > Lists).

The List Name drop-down menu lets you choose from among the lists defined in the active project and the Update button lets you refresh the list currently displayed in the palette.

The Find button enables you to locate items in the Lists palette. You can also navigate to a word or heading by simply double-clicking it in the palette.

The Build button lets you insert the active list into the active text chain. If the list already exists in the story, you can update it rather than inserting another copy. The Format As style sheets for the list are applied automatically.
