"SAS Report Model" in EGuide

[Doc_Duke]

I just installed SAS EGuide 4.2 and it defaults to the SAS Report for output. I've been searching the SAS product documentation and can find that it is used for the SAS Information Delivery Portal (web output), but I can't really find anything that helps me understand why it is useful if you don't have the portal.

Does anyone have any pointers as to the advantages or disadvantages of its use (Searching for "sas report" was so generic as to be unproductive.).

Thanks,
Doc

This link is to Chris's paper from Global Forum 2009 on the "What's new in EG 4.2" on page 3 he talks about the advantages of using the report output.

Jay. Thanks. Very helpful. Our usual final destination is a Word document, so I'll have to wait for the export to .RTF to take advantage of it's ability to combine pieces of reports (Chris: Hint, Hint.).
