Preparing Your Google Sheets Data
First things first, ensure your Google Sheets data is clean and well-organized. Avery labels are designed to accommodate specific data, so it's crucial to have your information in the correct format. Here's how you can prepare your data:
1. Column-wise: Organize your data in columns, with each column representing a different data field (e.g., Name, Address, City, State, Zip Code).
Freeze Top Row
Before printing, it's handy to freeze the top row for headers. This helps you keep track of your data while printing.
1. Click on the row below the header (row 2).
2. Go to View and click on Freeze.
3. Choose how many rows to freeze. In our case, select 1 (freezes the top row).
