how do I keep info together in columns (avoid widows & orphans)?

How do I keep Membership Directory entries together in columns? I want to
avoid having the name and address at the bottom of one column and the phone
number moving to the top of the next column.

Use "Keep with next" formatting for the relevant paragraphs (Paragraph
dialog box).

My approach is to make each directory entry a single paragraph (using line
breaks at the end of lines instead of paragraph breaks) and formatting the
paragraphs/style as "Keep lines together."
