Given this table: \starttabulate[|l|l] \NC 8:00\emdash noon \NC Ordering/opening/training\NR \NC \NC Food~preparation\NC\NR \NC Noon\emdash 2:00 PM \NC Luncheon~sales\NR \NC 2:00 PM\emdash 7:00 PM \NC General administration/baking \NR \NC \NC Supplier meeting (this is you) \NC\NR \stoptabulate ---------------------------- the Word "Food" is left justified in the column (good) and the word "preparation" is right justified (bad). The same problem occurs in the string "Luncheon sales." The glyph "~" doesn't help. I also tried the table variation in chapter twenty-two of "The TeXbook". That doesn't work in MKIV. My last resort is to introduce a one page pdf from the InDesign-created pdf. But the must be a Context solution. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
