As long as each map is pulling from the same centralized data sources be it Geodatabases or Shapefiles, then you should only have to make edits one time to either the spatial or attribute data. The edits will them be shown on all maps that reference that data. Symbology and labels are different. Those are localized to the Map Document. However you can create a Layer File (lyr) that will save those settings as well and allow you to use them in multiple maps.

Hello! I need some advice for working with ArcMap 9.
I am making a set of presentation maps that involve several schools in a city (Baltimore, FYI). There will be an overall map of the city and then one map that zooms into each school and the surrounding area, approx. 10 maps total.
These maps will be data-intensive: Lots of layers, many different types of symbols.
Normally, I either create multiple data frames in one document, or several documents with a different view each. This way I can keep the extent and layout just how I like it in case I need to come back for edits.
I am anticipating a lot of edit requests this time and I am wondering if there is a way to avoid making the same changes 10 times.
Is there a way to link multiple views or frames to the same set of data so that if I make changes to the "master" document, the symbols across all the maps will change?
Thanks,
