Change Representation Layer Name In Map Legend

All,
I am sure that there is a very simple way to solve this problem, but I am not able to figure it out.

In the jpg LegendRepresentations you can see what is in the table of contents in ArcMap and in the data view. I know that I can go to the layer properties and change the name; "Major Electric Power Plants By Fuel" to anything I want. But I cannot figure out how to get rid of the second line;"Representations: PowerPlantsUsContiguous_Rep2."

There is no context menu that would let me rename or remove this second line either.

When I go to the map view and insert a legend, see LegendRepresentations2, it adds that second line into the name of the layer. I know that I can convert the legend to a graphic and then remove the line, but I do not want to do that. I want to keep the legend active.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to get rid of the second line?

Regards,

Gene

The legend style dictates what items are going to be displayed. If you right click on the legend and go to Properties > Style, you can change the style of the legend. The Representation line is the "Header", which is the first and default choice for the legend. Change it to any of the other styles to remove the heading.
