comma after parentheses wraps to next line

I have just begun using Front Page 2003 after using 2002, and several times now in the course of adding a paragraph of text to a web page, a comma immediate after some text in parentheses (such as the one after this one)
, wraps to the next line as I made this one do. Common usage required the comma to be on the same line as the closing parenthesis. Any ideas?

By the way, I failed to mention that this happens near the end of the line. What should have happened given the example above is that the last word within the parentheses should have wrapped, along with the closing parenthesis and the comma.

Can you post the HTML code of the instance where this occurs?

Here you are:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>

<div align="left">
<table border="0" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="600" id="table1">
<tr>
<td>
<p style="margin-left: 9px; margin-right: 9px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 6">
<font face="Arial" size="2">
<b>Results:</b> Only six studies met the inclusion criteria. These
trials evaluated different manual therapy modalities: spinal
manipulation (three trials), classic massage (one trial),
connective tissue manipulation (two trials), soft tissue massage
(one trial), Dr. Cyriax's vertebral mobilization (one trial),
manual traction (one trial), and CV-4 craniosacral technique (one
trial). Methodologic PEDro quality scores ranged from 2 to 8
points out of a theoretical maximum of 10 points (mean=5.8+/-2.1).
Analysis of the quality and the outcomes of all trials did not
provide rigorous evidence that manual therapies have a positive
effect in reducing pain from TTH: spinal manipulative therapy
showed inconclusive evidence of effectiveness (level 4), whereas
soft tissue techniques showed limited evidence (level 3).</font></p>

That seems to do the trick. The previous version of FP did not have this issue. Any thought as to why it is happening now? And what do the carriage returns have to do with it?

I haven't used Frontpage in years, though I see this often.. look under preferences or options and see if there is word wrap or auto line-feed or similar as it is tacking on extra spaces.

I don't see anything there. Thanks.

You may want to consider using something else other than Frontpage..like Dreamweaver...light years ahead of FP.
