Ability to create series on points layer?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Im pretty sure that you cannot use a point layer to create a map series on.

Is this something that will be perhaps in a future version?

Using points alone could be problematic as the resulting extent could be very 
small.  A work around would be buffering the points and using those buffers as 
your 
index layer.  I would think any enhancement in this area would essentially work 
off 
a buffer of the points, whether temporary or permanent.

thanks for the pointer towards a possible solution Jason.

I would also like this feature added - creating buffer polygons is not ideal 
because
you end up with an additional, new polygon layer that you then need to maintain 
and
keep synchronized with your point layer.  It should be fairly easy to modify the
extension to handle points (and lines).  The only difference would be for 
points,
where you'd have to gray out the option to zoom to the extent of each feature, 
and
force the user to choose either a single set scale or take a data-based scale 
from
the attribute table.  Lines wouldn't be any different from polygons.  I am not
intimately familiar with the code (I've done a little bit of tinkering:
http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=989&t=64703&mc=410#611025 ) but I 
imagine
there would only need to be a few changes.
