This is a bleaker picture than is actually the case. I don't know what a Journal report is but RootsMagic Narrative reports supports paragraphing in more places than the auto-paragraphing settings: - within Notes for persons/couples/facts/events/sources/citations/... - within sentence templates for fact types and locally customised sentences There are things about paragraphing that could be improved but don't hesitate to experiment.
