When I merge names and addresses into a two-column directory, I have to
manually put column breaks (would need page breaks too) to keep each entry
together. It doesn't work to 'keep lines together' in the merge form
document. Is there a way to automate this?

Are the elements on separate lines or in separate paragraphs. If the
latter, set the paragraph format to keep with next. Otherwise, try
inserting the mergefields inside a single cell table with the property of
the row set to prevent splitting across pages.
