Narrative Report Questions

As a former user of The Master Genealogist, I expect my current genealogy software to take the sentences created by each event and build a narration for an individual's life. Unfortunately, I still have a lot to learn about the way RootsMagic builds the narrative report.

Thanks to information posted in the RootsMagic Community Forum, I did figure out how to create paragraphs (i.e. some white space). I elected to customize the sentence where I wanted a new paragraph by adding two carriage returns at the beginning of the sentence. Those two carriage returns create a blank line before the sentence.


Now, I need to figure out how to resolve several other issues:
  • The first letter is not capitalized for some sentences (see second paragraph above)
  • In many cases, there doesn't appear to be a space between the superscript at the end of one sentence and the first letter of the next sentence.
Hopefully, the forum will help me figure out how to resolve these issues.
