PART II: Lab Questions / Answers
What keyboard shortcut zooms to the full extent of the map?
The "Insert" key.
How can you activate a dataframe?
Right-click on the header and drop down to "Activate".
What are the various ways to change a map layer's title (in the Legend as well as TOC)?
One way is to go to "File" and to "Map Document Properties" and change the title text box, the second way is to right click the title directly on the map and overwrite with new title.

PART III: Process Summary Details
After importing all files to the proper data frames, I selected all colors and boundaries by right-clicking. I spent quite a bit of time getting the hang of properly zooming and centering the layers on the map, as I accidently zoomed in my Esc border file. I finally managed to center it properly, and learned to destinguish between the two separate zooming options. I selected "Print Preview" in "File" and chose the horizontal option, as it was better suited for my map. Afterwards, I inserted all of the necessery factors, such as a north arrow, a legend, a scale, and my name, date and source. I placed them in suitable areas around the map and saved the work as an mpx, and exported the finished product as a jpeg.
