There are bugs in "page-a.ms". The last one is for a trailing
space.
Found by using the options "-ww -b -z" (except the trailing
space) and patched HDTBL macros.

I get a somewhat different result as the paragraph "Company
Four" is entirely on the first page. That is without any change
to the provided files.
There are also these warning, but the do not seem to interfere
with the output.
The pdf-file with "Page size = letter" is in the attachment.

That appears to have worked. Thank you for pointing that out.
Very much appreciated!
Kind regards,

Yes. I am attaching 3 documents:
- A stripped down section of the CV template (hdtbl-issue.ms).
- A macro file

No worries. This list is definitely not just for programmers.

Hello,
I am new to groff. I am more a designer than a coder, so my
understanding here may be lacking.
I created a CV template using groff + ms macros + tbl + hdtbl. To be
fair, it worked wonderfully. I was able to replicate what I had
previously done with LaTeX. Including adding hdtbl table

I'm not sure what the term is, but I use CTRL-X to stop a process that
seems to just hang in the terminal. Like endless loops etc..
Ok thanks for the -mtrace tip. I ended up going back to try to workout my
table using tbl, since although HDTBL was working in a virgin document,

Hi list,
I'm currently working on a project and would be interested in communicating
with the author of HDTBL for making tables.
Joachim, would you be able to send me a msg?
As an aside, can anyone tell me if I need to include any special argument
at the command line to be able to use HDTBL?

I know for TBL I need to include -t, but what about for HDTBL? I
wasn't able to find that out.
I think it's implemented entirely as macros? No preprocessor, as

Hi Yves,

You should be using -mhdtbl. -m takes the name of a macro file to find
and load; hdtbl. http://manned.org/pdfmom.1 says it's happy to take
groff options and pass them along.
If it still doesn't work, paste us the
