Renaming a field

You can select and rename table fields during table field editing. However, fields that are mapped to a data source cannot be renamed; only new fields created can be renamed.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. Verify that you are in layout view if necessary.
3. Right-click the graphic table element and click Properties.

   The Table Properties dialog box appears.

4. If necessary, click the Table Fields tab.

   The Table Fields tab appears.
5. Right-click a Name or Alias cell and click Rename.
6. Type the new name for the field.
7. Press ENTER.
