When a complaint is created, is it necessary to add an introduction section into the pleading?

When you write a complaint, use simple and complete sentences and only write was is needed. Dr. Graves has a section on writing format (I can't remember the exact location).

What is the process to file forms with the Clerk of Court in Illinois

If there is any question, ask the clerk. Typically, one files the forms and, for security sake I often ask them to make me a copy and time-stamp it for me so I have proof each form was, in fact, filed. Hope this helps. Perhaps you're making more of it than there is. The clerk of court MUST take your forms IF AND ONLY IF the forms you are filing are in proper order and pertain to an open case or are initiating a case. One cannot just go to court and start filing forms unless and until there is a case and case number that identifies the case.

A question about facts that support elements of causes of action- I am in Federal Court now, having discovered the Jurisdictionary course regretfully late in the game, but not too late.
I am writing an amended complaint. In the present complaint, I had listed as many realistic facts as I could that supported the claims. My thought was that if one fact was turned out unproven, then another fact could suffice for the same purpose. This seems to make sense to me, but it also seems to go against the teaching in the course which instruct to state only the bare-boned that gets the claim heard.
Other ways of asking about it- once the case passes the stage of pleadings, is it true that no new 'facts' can be introduced? Will the Trial ONLY be heard on the facts that are introduced in the final form of the complaint?
