At least they added the mail merge feature for emails, which required me to build a Google App Script to achieve a similar outcome.

    I started trying to write labels into Google Sheets as an app script but soon realized I was wasting my time.

    It would have been easier to ignore Sheets altogether and write it in as a web page with JavaScript and CSV data.

    Instead I installed a 15 year old version of MS Office and had the labels printed in minutes.

    Office 2007 was good with serial key activation.. it became cumbersome with new versions..

    I think the last version I bought was 2003 student edition- which anyone could buy because didn't need online registration with a student email.

    I did sign up for office 365 to help my wife with some vba scripts. It's insidious because you can turn the subscription on and off but forget to turn it off.
