I'm quite happy customising a tab so that there are tick boxes to turn flags on and off.
However, I am failing to manage to create a box which I can type into.
How do I make something like the standard 'Born ... in ....' on the main tab?
While I'm posting, I should probably also ask how I then get that text to appear in a box on a diagram.
Many thanks!

Then add a and Edit and <<Insert the Data Reference.
