How to use a sign up sheet template in Google Docs

  1. 1

    Download the Word version

    Pick the .docx template above.

  2. 2

    Open it in Google Docs

    In Google Drive, choose New, then File upload, then open the file. Google Docs opens Word files directly.

  3. 3

    Save as a Google Doc

    Choose File, then Save as Google Docs, so you can edit and share it like any other doc.

  4. 4

    Share or print

    Share with "Anyone with the link can edit" so people add their names, or print it.

Heads-up on shared docs: anyone with edit access can change or delete someone else's name, and nobody gets a reminder. If that matters, use an online sign-up sheet instead (below).

Editing the template in Word

  • Change the title: click "Sign Up Sheet" and type your event name
  • Add rows: click in the last cell and press Tab
  • Rename a column: click the yellow header cell and type
  • The header row repeats automatically if the sheet runs onto a second page
