Since I need to use points as my basis for each page, I found a script
called squarebuffer.avx, but I don't know how to use it after
downloading/unzipping it. There is no install or instruction text file. Any
help?

Louise,
That script you found to make mapbooks would do what you want. It is called
DS Mapbook and it really is pretty slick. To do what you want, you would
need to create some buffer around the points you want to include in the
mapbook because the mapbook only creates pages based on polygons not points.
You can set a scale and set an attribute to determine the title for the
page. Go ahead and download it and play with it. It is worth your time.

Hello All!
I am so excited to have found this forum!! I have received great feedback
that was easy to follow and most importantly, it worked just as I hoped it
would.
So, I have more questions.
By the way, I am running ArcMap 9.2.
I have set the scale on the data frame properties to be fixed at 4800, but
when I zoom to a selected attribute within a table, the scale always goes to
28,058. So I have to reset the scale every time. This part of the project
requires me to produce on map for 100 data points. I considered using a
script that I found to do all the printing as a Map Series, but there seemed
to be too many conflicts that I am not able to address. For the sake of
learning, let me present these apparent conflicts and see if there is a
simple solution to address some or all of them.
Desired Output:
Hard copy and .pdf of 100 maps.
Maps will have consistent scale, and most text will be consistent. However,
there is a title bar with text that is the same as one of the labels on the
map. At this point, I am changing it manually. I would love to be able to
make that automatic!
For each point, there will be at least one true color aerial brought in. For
some points, there are up to 6 photos. The scale for the photos depends on
whether the site is rural or urban. (Which is funny because there is nothing
about Baldwin County AL that is anything but rural!!)
If I could somehow set the title on the layout to reference the point on the
map, be sure that the scale really will be fixed at 4,800, and create .pdfs
with a script, that would pretty much make my day!
I realize that I am spending a lot of time trying to take shortcuts, but if
I can figure out some of the shortcuts to use on this project, the next one
will run much smoother!
Thanks in advance for your help!
