In WORD 2010, my tables separate to the next page

In church directory with name, address, phones numbers, the information at the bottom of the page is often sent to the next page.  I have tried page breaks without success.  I read in this forum I need to tell WORD what to do.  I went to Home, Paragraph, and the paragraph format group.  I had read I needed to look for "keep with next."  Then I read about putting a symbol in...confusing for a copy and paste...can someone tell me in simple language what I need to do.  I will be happy to PM an attachment of the file.  Thank you.

Last Name     phone number     Sue and Jim        123 Main Street
                                                                                  Lexington SC 29073
                                                                                  sj@email provider.com


Last name     phone number     Jane and Dick      478 Elm Avenue

and the rest of their information is on the next page...

If there isn't room on one page, then Word must split the table. You could, perhaps reduce the font size and row height to get it all on the one page.

If there is room, you could either put a page break before the table, or better still, apply the 'Keep with Next' option to all the paragraphs in all the rows before the last row. The 'keep with next' will force the page to break early, if necessary, so that the tabel starts on a new page.
