Notes field missing

Strange thing. For some individuals, there is no Notes field on the Birth Fact. Where it should be is just a space.
How can I get this back?
Thanks

Colin, it looks as if you tried to attach a JPG image to show us but it hasn't worked.
To attach an image, either drag and drop it into the message box or use the Attachments tab below the message box and click Add Files and browse for the image file.
I can't be sure without seeing the image, but you may just need to adjust the relative sizes of the different parts of the Property Box. Is the Sentence field missing as well? Is there a grey line of dots with the word more as shown below? If so, click on it.

OK, it looks as if you have removed Note from the list of Fields Required for the Birth fact.
Use Tools > Fact Types, select Birth then click Edit and tick the Note option.

Colin, you say the
Note field is only missing for
some Individuals.
That fits with Lorna's explanation, because if some
Birth facts had
Note text added
before the
Fields Required option got unticked, then that
Note text will still be shown, but
Birth facts without a
Note will have the box missing.
I suspect the problem arose as an accidental side effect of the
Adding 'Weight' to the 'Birth' fact (16330) customisations.

That was it, I must have accidentally un-ticked it. All OK now
Thanks
