Symptom: 

Default map needs to be customized

 

Resolution:

Users wishing to customize the default new map to include formatting or settings changes can do so using the below steps:

 

1.  Go to Tools - Map Templates to open the template organizer

2.  On the map templates tab, find the file New Blank Map.  There will be other variations of this file name but they are only for backup purposes.

3.  Select New Blank Map and then choose the modify button.  The map will open.

4.  Modify the map with any changes you wish.  These changes can include formatting, map markers, page setup, or other customizations that exist in the map itself.  After making the changes, Save the map (ctrl -s.)

 

When next a new default map is started it should retain the changes made.
