You answered my question, but not with the answer I was hoping for <g>. If
I'm going to write free-form sentences that consist solely of [M], I use
the Anecdote tag. Otherwise I create a Tag Sentence structure that gives
me some reason to fill in the location fields (why would I bother if
they're not going to appear in a sentence?) and that ends in <[M]> so I can
put in the miscellaneous details.
Karla,
I did not mean to make the tag Sentence for a Deed tag (for example) consist
only of [M]. I wrote out a Sentence and *followed* that Sentence by "[M]".
There is a great deal of information in land records (neighbors, chains of
title, land boundaries, etc., etc.) that I put in the Memo field. In the
Sentence, I put the date, location (and waterway, if applicable), grantor,
grantee, acreage, and sale price. I follow that sentence with [M].
