Hi fellow Shruggies,

I need help in ArcGIS.  I have created a few default map document (.mxd) 
files which pre-load coverages when they are opened.  My question/problem 
is how to "incorporate" pre-designed layouts to these map documents. These 
pre-designed layouts consist of different sizes and orientation to print 
to a plotter.  Examples are E-size landscape/portrait, D-size 
landscape/portrait, etc.  They have to be different layout designs because 
of readability (proportioned text, logos, etc.)  I have a hard time 
understanding the concept of templates and to create/save them.  (May be 
taking a course would help).

Other concern: I am running 9.0 with Spatial Analyst.  The rest of the 
computers are running 8.3 without Spatial Analyst.  Does that create a 
problem for the rest to use these default map documents?

Thanks for your help.
