I've been digging around, but I can't seem to find out if it's possible.

I create a series of maps for a client and I need to document all the specifications in the map. So I need to create a spreadsheet/word doc of all the properties set in each layer (i.e. symbology colors, border thickness, definitions queries, label expressions, source, coordinate system...basically all the settings in the layers properties dialogue box) Same thing for the data frame properties settings.

Is there a function in ArcMap to do this?

Thanks, Mike

I posted this thread a couple years ago with no response. I have not since found something that does this, but I would be interested to know if ArcGIS or any other third party software will analyse the layers in a map document and print out a table that would compare property values (instead of exploring every single window in each layers properties dialogue both, trying to find anamolies) Maybe something similar to the X-ray addin that allows you to analyze the shema of a geodatabase.
