Creating a school directory in mailmerge Word 2010 from Excel 2010 - want to keep records together without page breaks in middle of record

Trying to create a school directory in Word using mailmerge Directory option from Excel 2010.  Would like to keep family record together without page breaks in middle of record.  Tried modifying style, didn't work - any other suggestions?
Answer
Answer
Use line breaks (Shift+Enter) within each record so that each family is a single paragraph. Then enable the "Keep lines together" option on the Line and Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog. Another approach is to use a table row for each entry and disable "Allow row to break across pages."
