1. Even though I have use Google Docs and Sheets for 90% of the documents and spreadsheets I use at work and outside of work, there are still a few things that I have not strayed from doing in Microsoft Office. One of those is mailing labels. Next time I need to create them, I am going to step out of my comfort zone and try them in Google. Here is a video showing how to get started: https://www.thegooru.com/create-printable-shipping-labels-using-google-sheets/?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonuq3AZKXonjHpfsX56OQuUaaxlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4CTMRqI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFTbHMMat6w7gKWxc%3D. I encourage you to try something, labels or otherwise, you have been doing in Office in Google Apps and let your school's ITRT know how it goes!
