Use a Table with three columns and as many rows as there are blocks 
of text (your "paragraphs") - probably without a border. Put your 
text in the centre column and the references in the others. You can 
even adjust the column widths after you enter your text, to suit how 
things turn out. And yes: the default row height is "Fit to size", so 
references and text will be moved as necessary to keep them 
horizontally aligned. The height of each row will be enough to 
contain the text in whichever column needs most.

I trust this helps.
