Legend items(i.e. layers) are read-only so you can not change them. You would have to&nbsp;code to edit&nbsp;for the table of contents, not the legend. Coding for the legend and table of contents require different methods in ArcPy.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Mar 2019 15:06:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/remove-underscore/m-p/666802#M7212 DennisC 2019-03-21T15:06:32Z
