I'm an Excel dummy. but I do play with Word tables a lot. I wanted to make verbose labels for 2"x3" seed packets, but I didn't wnat to use fonts smaller than 10 point. So I learned to print double-sided so that cells in tables on both sides of the page "lined up"..
Well, it's easier to slip the labels into the 2" wide Ziplock if its no more than 1.7" wide. And sometimes I make labels for tomato seeds or other seeds, that I keep in 1.5"x1.5" Ziplocks. So sometimes I use 9 or 8 point font.
But Excel formulas and dates are always a struggle!
