Yes. This works. Actually, my problem has always only been: how to get back to the top of a page; to have a correct string prepared to put there has been easy for me. Note what I wrote in my 1st post of this thread: . .\" ABOVE IS THE ORIGINAL, BELOW MY APPENDIX .mk \v'|0.5i' .tl 'a'b'c' .rt .. and it comes in a modified .BT macro (which is somewhat equivalent to your .NP; ms actually sets [as far as I know] 3 traps on a page, 1 at the top [.NP] and 2 at the bottom [.FO a .BT]). If I had written just . .\" ABOVE IS THE ORIGINAL, BELOW MY APPENDIX .tl '\v'-10.5i'a'b'c\v'+10.5i'' .. as you have, it would have basically done what I want. So now the question is why .tl '\v'-10.5i'a'b'c\v'+10.5i'' moves back and does the work, whilst .mk \v'|0.5i' .tl 'a'b'c' .rt does not. Nor does this, for instance: \v'-10.5i' .tl 'a'b'c' \v'+10.5i' Thanks for your help Ruda
