I do not see a way that you can get what you want here except by
sending the report to your word processor and then editing that. To
clarify, I think this is what you want when you enter Tags as:
Marriage Tag : normal with P1 & P2
Address Tag (1st): normal with P1 & P2
Address Tag (2 & later): P1 - normal, But P2 to never print.

In the Individual Detail Report, I think you want it to print as:
Marriage* 15 Oct 1904 Jane Doe (23) (b. 15 Oct 1877, d. 20
Feb 1964); Some City, Country
Address* 15 Oct 1904 Jane Doe (23) (b. 15 Oct 1877, d. 20
Feb 1964); Some City, Country
Address 10 Jan 1910 Another City, Country
Address 31 Dec 1919 Someplace Else, Country

However, if you Exclude the Name parts of the Primary Name then the
name (only) of P2 will not print for any Tag, but the ID#, and
Birth/Death Dates will print. It is not desired that the name not
print on all Tags -- only the 2nd & 3rd (etc.) Address Tags above.

Do I have it right as to what you want? If so, then all I can
suggest is to not include the P2 person as the Second Principal
(leave the field blank) and enter the name in the Memo changing the
Sentence accordingly so that it would print in a narrative report, if you wish.

Hope this helps -
