Hello, let's have the following code: ---- \setuplayout[page] \starttext AAA \page \copypages[cow.pdf] BBB \startTEXpage \externalfigure[cow] \stopTEXpage \page CCC \stoptext ---- Texts "AAA" and "BBB" are written from the strict left top corner of the page - page has no header nor backspace. So does the "cow" - it fills one page perfectly. That's OK. But when the text "CCC" is typeset, it seems a "default" layout is restored - see the space up and left, also the header appears; that's unwanted. What is the "trick" to prevent page layout from being modified by \start/stopTEXpage? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.
