Creating standardized Individual summaries for family history booklets
I'd like to pull information for ancestors from Family Tree from their Individual About, Details, Memories, and Time Line pages into a one or two page summary of their lives. The goal is to create a standard template to use in family history booklets.
Simply printing the About page to pdf appears insufficient. I'm now thinking about copying/pasting sections into a pre-made Word template (life history, timeline, some pictures, perhaps with some QR codes for key Memory documents/photos). It would then take some work to clean up & organize.
Has anyone else done something like this? If so, what tools or software did you use to make this process any easier? Any templates that you found worked well?

If you use desktop genealogical software in conjunction with FamilySearch, most software has a report-creation function. Family Tree Maker, RootsMagic, Legacy, and others are available.
