The following footing command would have the same effect:
.FO

Left-Right Page Numbers: By using the special character CTRL
&.

+
K in a
.HE or .FO command, you can make your system print page numbers (or other
heading and/or footing texts) at the right hand side of odd numbered pages but
at the left hand side of even numbered pages. An example of the following
footing is shown below:
.FO
10-11
The above footing prints as
10-11
on even numbered pages, putting
"10-"
and the page number in the lower left
corner of the page, and, on odd numbered pages, as
la-II
Putting "10-" and the page number in the lower right corner of the page.
Pagination:
Page break control is used for two purposes:
to force the
following text to begin at the top of a page, as at the beginning of a chapter,
and to prevent going to a new page in an inappropriate place (such as in the
middle of a table or after a Section title but before the beginning of the text
after the title). You may also wish to prevent page breaks one or two lines
into a paragraph, as the entire paragraph prints on the next page.
For the first case, where a new page is always desired, use the page command:
.PA
For the second case, it is usually desired to have a page break occur only when
less than a certain number of lines remain on the current page.
For these
cases, use the "Conditional Page" (.CP) command. The command looks at the
number of lines remaining on the current page, and causes a page break only if
too few remain. For example, if you have a table
10
lines long, put
.CP 10
above it. This will cause a page break during printout (and also display the
page break line on the screen) only if fewer than
10
lines remain on the
current page. That is, the following
10
lines, containing your table, will print
on the current page if they will fit, otherwise a new page will start with the
la-line table at the top.
