Bottom
Margin
.MBn
n is the number of lines at the bottom of a
page not used for text. The page number or
footing, if in use, is printed within the
bottom margin.
(See .FM below.)
The
standard bottom margin is 8 lines.
Note: The maximum number of lines on the page used for
the body of the text is the paper length, minus the top and
bottom margins.
If
the line height (.LH, above) is changed
after these commands are given, the same number of
inches, not lines, of text continues to be printed. Fewer
lines are, of course, used for particular pages where .PA or
.CP commands (below) invoke page breaks.
The top and
bottom margin values may be adjusted to give the desired
number of text lines on a page, and to vertically center the
text on the page.
REMINDER: The preceding commands, .LH, .PL, .MT, and .MB, will only be
interpreted correctly (with respect to page break display during editing) if
they appear at the beginning of the file.

margin less 1 is used. The standard heading
margin is 2 lines.
n is the number of lines between the end of
the portion of the page used for text, and
the page number or footing (see .FO). Note
that the footing margin and the page
number or footing appear within the bottom
margin space. The standard footing margin
is 2 lines.
