Novice, self-teaching VB user here...please help!

I am trying to do a simple For/Next Loop with an Index
Statement. I want to insert a text string from a range
names "List" into a cell, move 5 cells to the right,
insert the next name, etc.

I keep getting "Compile Error: Expected =" on the Index
Statement. What am I leaving out??
Thanks,LJ

Range("A1").Select
For x = 1 To 3
Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Range("List"), x,1)
ActiveCell.Offset(0,5).Select
Next x
