Remove duplicate service layer credits?

[wayfaringrob]

Is anyone aware of a way to remove any doubled service layer credits that may result from using more than one online source in your map? It's a waste of space, and if I were to run it by my desktop publisher, she'd raise an eyebrow. It just looks sloppy leaving them on. I really like using online layers, but they end up being more work than our local files as I must open in another program and fix the text for every map that gets made. See below - Esri, NASA, and USGS are all listed twice.

There has to be a smarter way for Esri to handle these credits - i.e. work something in that automatically detects duplicates (perhaps have it look between delimiters for matches and remove duplicates). In the meantime, is there a way I can fix this?

Hi, 

i have the same request with duplicate service layer credits when displaying several Layers of the same publisher. Is there already a solution to this problem? 

Best regards, Jonathan
