I guess I'm looking for the details in the differences between them. Using the LABEL/REPORT writers, I don't see any difference. The interface/menus all appear equivalent. It appears that when I choose label stock (like Avery 4143), all this is doing is configuring my page layout (margins, columns, etc). It looks like I can configure all of that manually in the report writer as well.

The only functional difference I've noticed is that the LABEL FORM command contains only a subset of the options of the REPORT FORM command - like "IN WINDOW" for example.

Is there any reason I couldn't/shouldn't use the report writer to design a 4"x6" 4-up label?
