Working with lists
The Lists feature lets you collect the text of paragraphs that have specific
character or paragraph style sheets applied to them. Although the Lists feature
is most often used for creating a table of contents, you can also use it to create
a list of figures or pictures used in a publication.
Preparing for lists
Before you create a list, you must create and apply style sheets in your
document. Begin by creating style sheets to be used in a table of contents, such
as “Chapter Name,” “Section Name,” and “Body Text.” Then create another
paragraph style sheet for the formatted table of contents.
Including style sheets in a list
The first step in creating a list is to decide what style sheets you want to include
in the list. To create a table of contents, you might include chapter and section
style sheets in your list, since a table of contents generally lists chapter titles
and their respective page numbers. You can include paragraph and character
style sheets in lists.
Specifying levels in a list
You will also need to decide how the different levels in the paragraph style
sheets will be defined before generating a list. You might want chapter headings
to be at the first level and subjects within a chapter to be at the second level. For
example, if you are writing a manual about an application, and a chapter in the
manual is titled “File Menu,” you might want the chapter heading “File Menu” to
be the first level on your list. The “New,” “Open,” “Close,” and “Save” items
(subheadings in the “File Menu” chapter) could be at the second level. Making
decisions such as these beforehand will simplify the process of generating a
list.
