What is a graphic table element?

The graphic table element is a generic surround element that is used to create the different types of tables that can appear on a map. It is accessed from the Insert menu. The tables that are created can be used inside a Data Driven Pages map document, an Atlas map series, or a standard map document. This tool is only available in layout view.

Some table examples that can be created include:

• Tables showing data from feature classes or tables
• Legends
• Notes
• Glossaries
• Scale Bars
• Location tables
• Adjoining sheet diagrams
