I have a question if you are able to, upon rotating the map, is there a way to do the same with the labels? If so, how?

Also, besides using the "Rotate Data Frame" to rotate the Layout View, which other method can you do to rotate the layout? I right-click but the rotate options are ghosted, meaning those options are non-clickable.

I have ArcView 9.3.

You should have an AdvancedArcMapSettings.exe program in your ArcGIS installation directory in the "Utilities" folder. See the "Rotate labels with data frame rotation" option:

  • Depends where ArcGIS is installed. Mine is in C:\ARCGIS\Utilities, but other's might have this in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Utilities

  • In order to apply settings you need to close ArcGIS, change setting in AdvancedArcMapSettings.exe, click Apply, then re-open ArcGIS.
