Setting up the page
Remember the purpose.
Will the map be viewed up close or at a distan What is the best page size?
Landscape or portrait?
What printer will I be using, and what are my
size limitations?

Extento Variable Sets the extent to the envelope of
the tile feature plus any margin you specify.The scale of each individual page in your box
will be different if your tiles are not of uniform
size.
o Fixed Sets the scale of each page to what
you specify. There will be no variationbetween pages.
o Data driven This option should be used
when you have specific scales that go with
each page (tile) in your series.

Optionso Rotation This is also an attribute-driven
option. If you want to apply rotations tothe data frame on each individual page,
then you need to have a numeric field on
your index grid that contains these values.
o Clip Turn on this option if you want the
data to be clipped to the shape of your tile.
o Label Adjacent Tiles There are multiple
ways to identify the tiles that are adjacent
to the tile represented by the current page.

After specifying the options on the
third page of the wizard, click the
Finish button and the Map Series willbe generated.
The page layout you have defined
does not change as you switch
between the different pages in yourseries. You can update the layout at
any time, as this information is not
currently stored with the series.

Page Specific Elements
The following items can be added to the layout and will be updated
by-page basis:
o Date will be updated to the current date each time a page is gene
o Title will be updated to the name of the page when the page is ge
o Page Number will be updated to the number of the page/tile
o Extra Item will be updated based on the value in the specified fiel
index layer
o Identif iers (Local and Global) these show the position of the cur
relation to the other pages/tiles

Identifiers (Local and Global)
Choose the Add Identifier Frame button on the Map
Book toolbar.
The dialogue will ask you whether you want to add aLocal or Global Identifier.
Click on the OK button - at this point the Identifier tool
will be active, so you need to drag out a box on the
layout to identify the position for the Identifier Frame.
Select the Identifier Layer from the Table of Contents
on the Local Indicator or Global Indicator frame
(depending on which type of Identifier you added) and
change the selection symbol, label characteristics, etc.
as you see fit.
