Remarks

A label can be attached to another control. When you create a text box, for example, it has an attached label that displays a caption for that text box.

When you create a label by using the Label tool, the label stands on its own it isn't attached to any other control. You use stand-alone labels for information such as the title, or for other descriptive text.
