Data Driven Pages - Highlight current feature

Question

Hi,

Is it possible when using data driven pages to highlight the current data driven feature so that it stands out on the plan rather than manually printing each page (selecting the object).

I am using 10.1

Thanks,
Mike.

JQuinn-esristaff's 'Page definition queries' solution worked perfectly for me - thanks!

The way i've done this before is to create a layer that has a page definition on it, set the border symbol for the layer to be what I want it to be to make it 'jump off the page'.  What you end up with are at least 2 and possibly 3 different layers in your TOC based on the same feature class:* layer 1 is your index layer driving the pages and this is turned off
* layer 2 is the layer with a page definition query so that ONLY the feature (i call this the 'subject feature) that matches the page displays
* layer 3 (optional) is a layer showing all boundaries, in a more subdued symbology, this is useful if seeing the 'subject feature' relative to other polygons is useful for your application.

Mike, I'm with you!  This doesn't seem to work in 10.1, although it did in 10.0.  Now the clipping options referenced take out all other features outside the data driven page polygon features, instead of highlighting them as before.  Here's a page done previously, with a nice highlight of the current feature.

Then, take a look at this one with the current set of polygons that I'm cycling through, but you can't tell which one is the selected one for the current page.

Edit after finding solution:  You've got to make a duplicate copy of the index layer, then in the Properties / Definition Query set a Page Definition and change the attributes of the layer to make it as visible as you'd like.
