edit button ( 
) to open the
ListBox Contents dialog where you can create or modify your list.
A list consists of a number of items, each one with two parts: item text, which is the visible part that will appear in the listbox, and item data, which is an invisible part that is associated with that item. You can use the item data to store any information that you want to associate with the item text, such as a file path or page name.
Items can be added to the list by clicking on one of
the fields and entering the desired text. You can manipulate the list
using the buttons at the bottom of the dialog. The insert (
) button can be used to insert an item into the
list, essentially inserting a new "row." The remove (
), up ( 
),
and down (

to remove or move items in the list. The ascending (
) and descending (
