How do I prevent a merged date field from wrapping?

I have a form with "for service since <<DateField>>"  Sometimes the date is
toward the end of a line and will split and wrap. e.g.
yada, yada, yada,                                                            
     "for service since 12
December1984"

This does not look professional and I don't believe it is proper.

Thank you,

Toggle the field (ALT+F9) to view the content which will be {Mergefield
Datefield \@ "d MMMM yyyy"}
Replace the spaces in the formatting mask with non-breaking spaces.
