Walt,
I have a grave tag. It is separate from my burial tag.
My tag reads:
The gravestone <[L]> reads: <[M]>
In some cases the stone that has a married couple reads much better when
there are two principles and this sentence will work for any number of people. So
if there are infants on the same stone I can add them as witness and the tag
will still read correctly. I use a sort date after the last burial.
My tag is in the other group. You may want to consider putting it in the
burial group. I thought about it when I created the tag. If you put it in the
burial group it will go in the first paragraph with the birth, marriage, death
information. However, witnessess statements don't print in the first paragraph so
the infants or such that might be on the stone won't print there. I decided
that I like the gravestone inscription to be the last thing in the narrative
and so decided to put it in the other group.
If you asking how to create a tag, press F4 and then on TMG v4 click new onf
TMG v5 click add. (if you need and further help from here just ask)
