Running FM 7.0p579 and WinXP Pro/SP2.
Issue Background:
EDD is well modified from original Spec.
Structured doc contains two Elements, Contents and Illuslist.
Each contains a list of entries - all are Hotlinked, like a Generated List in a Book File.
Each element, when selected in Structure View, highlights a large chuck of content (ie, all the entries in the associated list) in Doc View. For the Contents element, which occurs as first child in Structure, the selected content includes the top titles in the doc.
In doc view, list content can be edited; however, after clicking into a line, one use of cursor arrow (eg, UP), takes insertion point to top of content chunk.
New entries can be entered, but only using Soft Returns and tweaking settings in Para Designer.

My Question(s):
1) How are these lists created? First answer might involve the tocentry attribute that is on some elements; but it is not on all the elements to which these linked list entries go.
2) How to update the lists using some "auto-generate" function? The files are stand-alone and not part of any Book File. As far as my users recall, the files never have been part of a Book.

Can anyone provide insight here?
Regards,
Dave
