+A table which does not fit on a partially filled page is printed
+automatically on the top of the next page if you append the little
+utility macro
+.CR t*hm
+to the page header macro of your document's main macro package.
+For example, say
+.
+.PP
+.RS
+.nf
+.CR ".am pg@top"
+.CR ". t*hm"
+.CR ".."
+.fi
+.RE

+.PP
+if you use the
+.B ms
+macro package.
+.
+.PP
+.B hdtbl
+has built-in page header and page footer macros,
+.B HM
+and
+.BR BM .
+If they interfere with your own header and footer macros, simply
+say
+.CR ".rm\ HM"
+and
+.CR ".rm\ BM"
+to remove them.
