Hello all,

I am using descriptions to populate my legend since I have better control over wrapping of text.  That said, I have entered all the static symbols' descriptions by hand.  However, I do have a few unpredictable symbols that I need to add dynamically.  Thus, does anyone know how to do one of the following.

Populate Legend Symbol descriptions via a text field in the layer's attribute table?

or

Populate Legend Symbol descriptions via arcpy individually?  I cant populate the entire set of symbols as they are already set in the mxd doc.  I just need to be able to populate descriptions for these "wild card" symbols.

Thanks.
