Thanks Taco I tried out your suggestion and it helped me to solve my problem. My document structure now looks like so: % All my setups for fonts, papersize, layout, page numbering mapfiles, header, footer etc \starttext \startstandardmakeup This contains the text for the first page i.e. Title, Name, and a nice flueron as a graphic in a large font size (looks quite good even though I say it myself).No header or footer appears on this page. \stopstandardmakeup %Here I added (after a search through the mail archive):- \setuppagenumbering[location=margin,alternative=doublesided,state=start] \setuppagenumber[number=2] %and this solved the page numbering problem.These two commands were initially before \starttext The rest of the text with header and footer \stoptext Thanks also to Paul your suggestion looks like the way to go for bigger documents.

Dear All
I have produced a nice little A5 pamphlet which I will be printing on A4 paper. I have had a lot of fun doing this and I am quite pleased that I was able to install fonts and fleurons which I needed in the process. However, I have a problem which I am having difficulty in solving. How can I stop the Header, footer and page number being printed on the first page? I have looked through the big Context manual but I can't figure it out. Any hints?
I hope this is a good enough solution \startstandardmakeup .... text for first page \stopstandardmakeup % implicit pagebreak here Taco _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context -- No virus found in this incoming message.
