Click the Help button in that "Additional Options" to see this text
Tagging Duplicates Select this option to put a tag on individuals when they are merged. This tags only the individual who remains after a pair is merged. You can select the tag number to mark. You can also choose to have any existing tags of that number cleared before the merge process begins (the tags are cleared when you click Continue). This would then let you later display a Search List of all the merged people by showing just the individuals tagged with that number. I have not been successful at using this feature. It would be nice if the possible duplicates were tagged before a merge as you have described. If this documented feature did work you could make a copy of the file, perform the merge with this box checked, and then search for the "remaining" individuals to see who they are. You might even use the Intellishare Merge to combine the copied file with tags set back into the main file so that the tags will be set on the duplicates that will survive the merge. I can't see any easy method to tag the individuals who will not survive the merge except using the "Compare Two Files for Duplicates" using the main file and the copy after duplicates merged. It can set a tag on each individual that is in both files (one at a time) and then when finished those without a tag are the ones that were deleted by the merge process in the copy.

There is an option to Tag All Duplicates in "Additional Options" - can you please describe its purpose, and how it's used? The tickbox is active, i.e. not greyed out, but as the OP said, nothing happens when it's selected.
