Sorry for this, but it seems that 9fans is the best place to ask for
troff advice....
I want to use .2C in ms documents to enter two-column mode. However,
this seems to force insertion of a paragraph break space, which I do
not want; I can't find any documentation on how to turn that off, and
reading troff macros isn't that fun. Does anyone know avoid the extra
shot of vertical whitespace? (In the meanwhile, I used me on Unix to
do what I needed to do.)

Probably easiest to just .sp the appropriate negative distance just before the .2C.
