Having a LOP/LOT appear in a chapter like a mini-TOC instead generating a separate file?

Question

So, I inherited a file that basically has a List of Pages and List of Tables on the first page.

You can see here that there is a chapter title, a section listing the sections, and a section listing the tables within that section.

The person who had this file before me had this section set up as a text inset, but now it doesn't seem to be working.

I originally started out by making a mini-TOC to replace the section, but then I realized you can't have two mini-TOC's in the same file. I know you can create a List of Pages and List of Tables, but those create stand alone files and won't appear at the top of the first page as before. Is there an easy way to rectify this?

Thanks.

You can create a generated file from any single document. Just open the document and choose Insert and whatever kind of file you want. When you get the Attention dialog box, click Create Standalone. After the file is created and formatted how you want it, save it. Do the same with the LOT (or whatever) and save it. Now you have files that you can import as text insets at the beginning of your chapter.

To import, choose File > Import > File, select the file make sure the Import by Reference radio button is selected.
