Legacy has a wordwrap button on most text entry screens. Use that to make your lines free flow to the available width of the screen and/or pages when printed. It removes all single end-of-line markers but leaves multiple end-of-lines alone so it will preserve paragraph spaces. I am not sure what you mean by orphaned words or source references. When free-flowing text you may have a paragraph with a single word on a line but since the width available on a screen and the pages of a report vary from report to report and even from screen to screen if you re-size your screens as often as I do, that is not something you should worry about since what works on your screen may not work in report output.
