James, I've been trying to follow this thread and the suggestions made to you, but I may have missed something.
I try to write a short biography of my direct ancestors, including major events and accomplishments. I put this in General Notes. In the basic reports--Individual & Family--these notes appear at the end of the report. But in the longer book reports, such as the Descendant Narrative, the General Notes appear immediately after the birth, death and burial information, and before the Events. For these reports, you can change the title from "General Notes" to "Biography," "Life Story," or anything you want. I don't remember what the size limitation for notes is, but as I recall, it is very large and probably doesn't impose much of a limitation. As I said, unless I've missed something, using General Notes would seem to do what you want. John S.
