currently I try to get a multiline footer at the page bottom (in my

using
the `ms' macros. I tried to modify the BT macro as such:
.de BT
.if \\n%=1 \{\
. sp -2v
. so footer.tbl
. bp
\}
.ie o .tl \\*[pg*OF]
.el .tl \\*[pg*EF]
..
the real problem is my attempt to first backspace two lines so that
the
(in my case: four line) table fits in the FM space. without the `.sp'
the thing works in principle (but cuts off half my table). simply
increasing FM is not the solution for my multipage document I think.
On the contrary, I think increasing FM is exactly what you need to
do. If you need to change it later, just make the change before the
page break. You can give it a try and see if it works anyway; what
could it hurt? Put in in the command line (maybe groff -ms -rFM=9v)
and you won't even have to change your document.
