A method comprising:
- (a) creating a page layout template by:
- (i) creating a first box set, wherein a box set is a plurality of boxes logically grouped together, by:
- (1) creating a first image box and associating the first image box with a first group number,
- (2) creating a first title box and associating the first title box with the first group number, and
- (3) creating a first count box and associating the first count box with the first group number, and
- (ii) creating a second box set by:
- (1) creating a second image box and associating the second image box with a second group number,
- (2) creating a second title box and associating the second title box with the second group number, and
- (3) creating a second count box and associating the second count box with the second group number, and
- (b) creating, using an add-on play diagram compilation tool that provides a graphical user interface integrated with a visual workspace of a visual graphic diagramming program, a multi-page active document wherein a plurality of pages of the active document is based upon the page layout template, wherein each of the plurality of pages contains image boxes, title boxes, and count boxes that are grouped together into tiles based on the box sets defined by group numbers in the page layout template;
- (c) using a document file library picklist to sequentially choose a plurality of electronic files, each file containing a single play diagram, and each file created by and stored by the visual graphic diagramming program as an individual computer file,
- (d) inserting the content of a selected one of the chosen electronic files into an assigned tile in the active document by:
- (i) identifying a title based on the selected electronic file, wherein the identified title is extracted from title data found in the play diagram content in the selected electronic file,
- (ii) inserting the identified title into the title box for the assigned tile,
- (iii) identifying play diagram content in the selected electronic file,
- (iv) inserting the identified play diagram content into the image box for the assigned tile, wherein the identified play diagram content inserted into the image box for the assigned tile does not include the title data, and
- (v) inserting a count value into the count box for the assigned tile;
- (e) repeating step (d) to insert the content of each chosen electronic file into a different tile in the active document to create a game plan playbook containing a compilation of play diagrams.

A method comprising:
- (a) creating a page layout template having a first box set having a first image box and a first title, and a second box set having a second image box and a second title:
- (b) creating an active document having a plurality of pages based upon the page layout template, wherein each box set in the page layout template defines a distinct tile on each of the plurality of pages of the active document;
- (c) inserting content of a plurality of electronic files into an assigned tile in the active document by:
- (i) selecting an electronic file to be associated with a selected tile,
- (ii) identifying a title from image content within the selected electronic file,
- (iii) inserting the identified title into the title box for the selected tile,
- (iv) removing the identified title from the image content of the selected electronic file to create a remaining portion of the image content,
- (v) inserting the remaining portion of the image content into the image box for the selected tile, and
- (vi) repeating steps (i) through (v) for each of the plurality of electronic files.

- (b) creating an active document having a plurality of pages based upon the page layout template, wherein each box set in the page layout template defines a distinct tile on each of the plurality of pages of the active document;
- (c) inserting content of a plurality of electronic files into an assigned tile in the active document by:
- (i) selecting an electronic file to be associated with a selected tile,
- (ii) identifying a title from image content within the selected electronic file,
- (iii) inserting the identified title into the title box for the selected tile,
- (iv) removing the identified title from the image content of the selected electronic file to create a remaining portion of the image content,
- (v) resizing the remaining portion of the image content of the selected electronic file to create a re-sized image content, wherein the resizing further comprises not resizing fonts within the image content while resizing shapes,
- (vi) inserting the re-sized image content into the image box for the selected tile, and
- (vii) repeating steps (i) through (vi) for each of the plurality of electronic files.
