Hi,

I have projected a spreadsheet of XY (lat/long) coordinates into Arc10 and now I want to add a few more points. Aside from editing the spreadsheet, importing it and then projecting it again, is there a way to add the lat/long coordinates in Arc and display them without having to go outside the program? Seems simple enough, but I can't seem to find a solution...

Cheers

Are you working with an XY Event layer (ie right-click on spreadsheet > Display XY Data)?  You can export the event layer to a feature class/shapefile by right-clicking on the event layer > Data > Export Data.  Then you can edit the feature class/shapefile.  When editing, right-click with the edit tool in the data view and you will see 'Absolute XY'.  You can enter the coordinates here and the point will be added.
