Jerry,
I believe, you are referring to interacting bit. In ArcGIS Explorer we've solved it by clicking directly on graphics. Once clicked, mini-window appears listing graphics identified at that location.

How do users know when points are stacked on top of each other without clicking? I do not believe your explanation solves this issue?
I am having a problem with points being stacked on top of other points as well. I am using ArcGIS Desktop and I am trying to print out a map with the points, with different symbols, spread out for the same address. I was not sure if there is a way to do this? I do appreciate any kind of help I can receive for this issue.
If you convert your points Symbology to Representation, then use the Disperse Markers Tool in the Cartography Tools to spread the stacked points out in your own opted display, then open up an edit session, editing the Representation layer, then export that Representation layer as a shapefile or feature class to another folder or geodatabase, you will have a seperate file of your original point file with the points spread out.
You can then find some unique attribute amongst those dispersed points to give a unique symbol to each point as you requested. Hope that helps.
I already have all of my points geocoded and plotted but when I try to convert from symbology to representation the option is not highlighted. I do not have a lot of experience with ArcGIS so I am trying to learn as I go, so I do apologize for not knowing some of the basic stuff.
Make sure you do not have an edit session open or the Convert Symbology to Representation application will be grayed out. So to be clear, you do have stacked points that you would like to seperate from each other, correct?
Don't worry about asking any questions because you're new to GIS, we were all there once and it's always a pleasure to share the knowledge and help someone who is just starting out.
