Using the Legend Tool Extension

The Custom Legend wizard is a new ArcView tool for designing state-of-the-art
map legends. You only need to have a layout and one or more views in your project
to use this tool. Unlike traditional ArcView you do not need to have a viewframe in
your layout to add a legend. You only need to click a point at the location where you
want the lower left corner of the legend to be located and your legend will be created
from the view you choose.

To begin using the Legend Tool, open a layout in a project in which you have at least
one view. A new "Custom Legend Tool" button should appear at the right end of the
lower tool bar. Click on this button and then click the approximate point in your layout
where you would like the lower left corner of your legend. The following graphic should
appear.
