Question Page breaks in a list created with mail merge

Hello,
I need to create an archival inventory from an excel sheet. I have great amount of data such as dossier titles, dossier description, annotations, chronological referencies and so on.
I used mail merge without problems to obtain, from excel table, a report similar to the following:

ID
Title
Content
Annotations
Chronological extremes
Collocation
Classification

I successfully used rules to obtain the format I needed, but I still can't manage how to control page breaks. I created a report in which records are in sequence (not one for page) and separated by a line.
It happens that some record is cut beetween two pages so thet, for instance, only the ID is on the bottom of a page, while the rest of the fields are at the top ot the following one.
I need to optimize number of record per page, but I don't want to "cut" records in different pages.

I tried to format paragraph with "keep with previous" or "keep paragraph on the same page"... but I didn't obtained what I needed.

Is there any rule in mail merge I need to use?

Here are an abstract of the excel with the data, the template I created and the word file with results.

Thanks a lot!
