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

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.

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
