Yes. A very nice feature indeed. Right under the Insert Menu -> Insert Dynamic TextRead posts about version 10 before migrating... I jumped the gun now i wish I waited. VBA for example is being phased out which is most evident by the fact that in version 10 you can no longer add UI Controls (buttons, tools, etc) in the Normal Template only on document level.
never mind, i was told that in 10 there will be dynamic text that can be added to MXDs to handle this
