IGraphicSnapEnvironment2	Provides access to members that control the Collection of snap agents used for snapping graphics.
IMxdContents	Provides access to members to pass data into and out off a MXD map document file. Coclasses that implement this interface can limited the implementation to one property if required.
IPageEvents	Provides access to events that occur when the Page changes.

IPageLayoutExtensions	Provides access to the extensions of a page layout.
IPersist	Defines the single method GetClassID, which is designed to supply the CLSID of an object that can be stored persistently in the system. IPersist is the base interface for three other interfaces: IPersistStorage, IPersistStream, and IPersistFile.

Remarks

The PageLayout manages the layout of a hard copy output page. The PageLayout has a collection of elements organized as follows:

    Printer - A reference to te application's printer. Managaes paper size, margins, and other settings.
    Page - Manages the visual (on screen) representation of the printer page.
    Elements - A list of map elements that are drawn on the page.
    Graphics - A list of graphic elements that are drawn on the page.

ArcMap's layout view corresponds to the PageLayout object, and like all views, the PageLayout implements the IActiveView interface allowing it to take control of the main application window.
