Is there a way to download profiles (with or without photos) to a Word or PDF file to create a reunion booklet? If there's not there ought to be.

The Reunion booklet enhancement is already on the task list. It is behind some other upcoming features.

John,

As Kyle said, there's now a button on the Manage Classmates page to download the profiles. What worked best for me was to use the CSV format. I only selected the fields I wanted to show on each page.

I created a Word document template for the classmate profile page and then set up a mail merge to create each individual page. It worked really well, and saved a ton of time. The only problem is getting the class photo on the page. I had to manually create a field in the table to hold the file name for each picture, then cerate a merge field for that column. You can set up filters to only create pages for classmates who have updated their profile by checking the 'Last Updated' field.

I was also able to use this same technique and Microsoft Publisher to make nametags for everyone that includes their high school photo.
