Newbie: Creating Packing Slips?

[Tadd Bryan]

Problem: Create packing slips based on a template format
and print 2 per page.

My thoughts: Create a report that has the entire page
structured such that there is a top half, and a bottom
half that output the template format for the packing slip.

Is this the best way to proceed? Is the report output the
right mechanism to output the packing slip structure?

I assume it is possible to have a form drive the report
output, thus I can seek input from the user which records
for which to generate the packing slips. Is this indeed
possible?

Thanks for any advice,
Tadd

You could set up the report using the label wizard, define
a new lable type that has 2 labels per page, one across,
then all the spacing is taken care of. I'm not sure
setting up a one page report with everything twice will
work.
