Is there a way to set certain layers in an MXD as un-selectable so that when one creates a PMF, the user doesn't get results for that layer when using the Identify tool? Thanks in advance.

I went to my mailbox today at work. This is something i only do every month or so anymore since all my business is conducted through email. In it I find that I have 5 pieces of mail in there ranging from postcards to a newsletter to a magazine to a giant magazine the size of old Rolling Stone issues, and every piece is from ESRI. Not one piece of mail from anyone else. Esri, it's time you chilled on the tree-slaying and using all those fossil fuels distributing paper marketing pieces all over the planet. Especially for a company that has "Environmental" as part of it's name. Really, do you need both ArcUser and ArcNews...is it really too hard to have a news section in ArcUser or vice versa?

When drawing a line, i would like to be able to hold down the 'Shift' key to draw vertical, diagonal or horizontal lines, as is the standard in many applications.

However, the basemap does get written to the .pmf that can be sent to another user. Providing that they have internet access that basemap should display automatically when the .pmf gets opened in ArcReader. Kevin, like with Chris Graves attached "screenshots "document, I get a message saying "The data package has not been created" when i try to package to a File Geodatabase. When you open my .pmf (with the bing layers in there) there are no layers to turn on since the data package has not been created. It sounds as if you have had more success though. Do you get different results packaging yours? If so, please share.

This functionality would be great to have built in!

Yes, I am finding that it is excruciatingly slow as well. It takes a couple minutes to open my .pmf when i have used a packaged & compressed data file. The worst thing is that a user who is not patient might think that the program has hung or frozen during opening. I wish Esri would at least add a status bar to let the user know that things are happening behind the scenes.
