Subject: Tag Memos & Witnesses

I'm just getting back to genealogy, TMG & SS and feel I'm relearning a
lot of things, or maybe I never knew them in the first place! Anyway,
perhaps I'm trying to do something that can't be done, but here's my
question:

I have a tag for [P1] with a few paragraphs written in the memo
sentence. I added a bunch of witnesses to this tag which happened to be
the children of the [P1]. On each witnesses tag I wrote a sentence
specific to just that witness. When checking each witness in the
individual narrative review, it all looked correct, and fooled me,
because when I ran a journal report or went even further to run the
database in SS, the results were that each witnesses had all the
paragraphs from the original [P1]'s long memo tag along with the
specific witness sentence I wrote for each of them -- I don't want that
original text in [P1]'s memo to show up with each witness, only with
[P1]. Maybe I should have just asked more simply, is it possible to have
a person's memo field in a tag NOT show up on the narrative of each
witness to that tag? Or is that the whole point of a witness, to be able
to take on [P1]'s memo sentence also? Am I making this clear enough to
anyone?? :-D
