I've got a nagging irritant with either putty or the man pages, or perhaps my setup. If I use putty to log into my server and request any man page, it returns the page, but really important stuff like keywords are blank. Is this perhaps caused by the wrong terminal setting in putty or is there something with Centos man pages that cause this to happen?

Are you using putty from a microsoft desktop or a linux desktop?  If you
are using a linux desktop try using konsole or terminal for the
connection and see if you get the same symptoms.

Looks like I shot myself in the foot after all. I just checked the bold foreground color, and sure enough, it was the same as the background color. Changed that to red, and it works as advertized now. Sorry for the unnecessary postings. Should have checked there first !
