Have you gotten to the point where you are tired of changing specific characteristics of a symbol over and over?  ArcMap enables you to save that symbology and save it in your own category.  Below you will find the steps to make life a little bit easier.

1.  After you have selected the specifics for your symbol, click the “Save…” button.

2.  Enter a value for the Symbol Name and Category.  The Category can be a previous one or you can create a new one.

3.  Once you have saved the file, change the Category drop box to the one you save the symbol under.  The newly saved symbol will be available.
