Thanks. I discovered that a bit ago and was just about to post what I found out. Now, I don't suppose there is any way to actually fine-tune the placement? I asked this question about two months ago and since I didn't get a response figured there was no way. For example, I would like to indent the figures about 5 cm from the left margin.

How can I place a figure to the left of the page *without* having any text wrap around it?
If I use:
\placefigure[here]{{\bf figure 1.1: }Woolworth store in Lexington}{\externalfigure[WWORIG ref]}
I get a graphic that is centered. I want to push the graphic to the left of the page.
The only way I know how to achive this right now is with:
externalfigure[WWORIG ref] \par {\bf figure 1.1:} Woolworth store in Lexington \par
But this method probably won't keep my captions and graphics together. If the graphic is placed at the bottom of the page, my caption will appear on the next page.
Do I need to save the graphic as a buffer and then place the buffer? I coudln't find any directions on how to use buffer, though I swear I saw it on the wiki.
\definefloat [leftfigure][figure] \setupfloat[leftfigure][location=left] \setupcaption[leftfigure][style=bold]
\starttext
\input tufte
\placeleftfigure {Woolworth store in Lexington} {\externalfigure[WWORIGref]}
\input tufte
\stoptext
