One little known aspect of the FO user defined facts is that if you do not enable the date and place fields nor the description field then the introductory "book phrasing" of the fact is omitted completely from reports and you are free to write your own fact introduction as part of the note and have it flow any way you like. Of course, then you must include the date and place in the note and you lose the ability to search in these fields or to globally synchronize the place. For every advantage you gain you must give up something in return ;-) One advantage of this is if you have a narrative note longer than 32k you can divide the note between two or more events and have the narrative continue with no hitches or interruptions.
