Oh, I see. Yeah, they are actually the same. You can try to create labels in Report Designer too, but I don't know why I myself would do this (unless I need something really specific)

>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.
