When I open a shapefile in ArcMap I can't see the complete file, can anyone help?

I'm trying to open a large shapefile that contains census metropolitan data but the shapefile hasn't downloaded completely in ArcMap. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Thank you kindly, Kate

Hi Kate,

Is there an issue with the coordinate system? Does its system match your ArcMap document's? Can you view the shapefile in ArcCatalog?

Great questions. I'll double check if the coordinate systems are aligned and I'll check ArcCatalog.

Thanks for your help!
