Dynamic text to show next sheet in a map series

BerendVeldkamp

I haven't been able to find this, but maybe I'm overlooking something:

Is it possible to add a dynamic text that shows the names of the surrounding map sheets?

Like in the old analog topographic atlases where the names of bordering map sheets were in the page's left, top, right and bottom margins.

The link is in my post.

Absolutely. You have just to add fields in your index map polygon to each side. The best way to do it is with geoprocessing.

Look at Geoprocessing, Toolboxes, Cartography Tools, Map Series then Caculate Adjacent Fields. You enter the field with the map name number. Automatically it will generated the adjacent field (Be aware that it's good for maps without rotations) . For me, my field is "carte" so the results are carte_N, carte_S etc,

In the layout you have just to use these fields, in dynamic text to include and format each of these map numbers. You just have to format the text and, if you which, add and arrow background like I do.

What you're looking to do can be done.

If the documentation referenced by @DanPatterson doesn't help, just remember to have your polygon/map grid labeled with the proper field. Once labeled properly and with labels turned on, you may have to adjust the label placement via the labeling properties options. In the labeling properties, click on the "position" tab, make sure "may place outside polygon boundary" is checked on, and then set your label placement preferences if needed. This workflow should give the end-result you're looking for.
