I have never used "mom" but the procedure should be the same in all searches. I assume you are looking for the macro that changes the formatting from a two column format to the (usual) one column format. 1) look at the man page and search for relevant terms. Found nothing that fulfils the criteria. One description of a macro could be the right one. 2) search other documentation named in the man page. Found. So the mom man page in groff is missing the relevant term. -- Bjarni I. Gislason
