MapBook works by letting you design a layout template as a workspace, and you 
can
put replaceable text variables on the layout and even more complex features
like a scalebar by simply drawing a rectangle. It's actually designed to
produce a series of maps from a grid table or a table of view areas, but some
users tell me it's handy for laying out individual maps too.

It cost $295, but there's a free, fully-functional demo at
