export symbology in 9.3

[GiacomoAssandri]

Hi all,
In Arc Gis 9.3, in layer properties there is the  possibility to import a symbology from a file. I would ask how to export a symbology I have created before in order to import it in another shapefile.
Thank you,
Giacomo

I would just save the old layer as a layer file (.lyr). To do this, open the map where the layer with the symbology you want to save is. Right click the layer in the table of contents and select Save as Layer File. Then, when you click import, you can just navigate to the location of your .lyr file.
