map sheet issue
I use a new import a new map sheet every day for my projects. What I have found is that the original map sheet that I created the map with will load when I open my map, even though it is no longer included in my map sheet list. It doesn't show in the map layers column either, though there is a blank drop down box under map sheets. I have to load the new map sheet every time I load this map.
As I mentioned the map that is being displayed isn't even in the map sheet list (on the left), so I don't know where it's coming from other than it is the map sheet that I originally made the map with....Is it possible to delete this original map sheet or is it permanently attached to the map?
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Open the Information menu "i" on the left hand side. There is a box there that says
"Keep These LayersMap will always show these layers on load, instead of the most-recently-selected active layers".
Check that box and whatever layers you have loaded when you close the map will save each time you close and re-open the map.
Just to add to what Rachel says, if you already have the information check box checked, you need to uncheck and recheck it each time you change or add layers or map sheets you want to have appear at initial page load.
Thanks Brett. I figured that out. It's probably something should be changed as it's not very intuitive. Why have the check box if you have to uncheck and recheck it....had me scratching my head for a while.
