Dates breaking across lines

Is there some formatting i can apply to paragraphs in FM to keep dates (i.e., 02/22/1980) from splitting and breaking across lines?

    This defines the characters that FM is allowed to break lines at. If you don't want the "/" character in dates to break, then you have to remove it from this list. Note: AFAIK, this is a document level property only.
