As an alternative to using the Standard Report Creation Wizard, you can also use the other report creation wizards to quickly construct a variety of different reports. If you'd like, go ahead and take a few minutes to explore the other report wizards, such as the Cross-Tab or Mail Label wizards. The Cross-Tab Report Creation Wizard is also covered in greater detail in Hour 14.
