text, and graphics are preserved. ArcMap includes a vast array of tools for creating
and using maps.
Customizing Maps are tools for getting a job done. You can create maps that have
exactly the tools you need to help you complete your job quickly. You can easily
customize the ArcMap interface by adding tools to existing toolbars (or removing
them) or by creating custom toolbars. You can save these changes to the interface
with a particular map or for every map that you open.
Table of contents
The table of contents lists all the layers on the
map and shows what the features in each layer
represent. The check box next to each layer
indicates whether its display is currently turned
on or off. The order of layers within the table of
contents specifies their drawing order in the data
frame from bottom to top.
The map's table of contents helps you manage
the display order of map layers and symbol
assignment, as well as to set the display and
other properties of each map layer.
