    doc/ms.ms, groff_ms(7): Drop duplicate table.
    
    In both of these documents the margin setting register table is
    presented twice, meaning there are four copies altogether
    (doc/groff.texi has a fifth "copy" in non-tabular form).
    
    Get the situation under control by referring reader to where in the same
    document the relevant table can be found.
    
    This makes the discussion of margins pretty short...
