I thought I saw a reply but not with same subject.

The Citation Detail is not the place for the Will Text. If you want to
have the will text in TMG, then I suggest a Note Tag or Will-Text Tag
with the text in the memo and with a sort date so the text sorts just
before or after the Will Tag.

However in Ver 4.0d direct from TMG you cannot have a comment memo
embedded in the text and the full text as an endnote or footnote.
However if you send to your word processor you can insert the will text
in the endnotes.
