Hi Luigi,

Because of the layout of the booklet. The area should fit over two pages (= 6 columns). ok
You can find the relevant pages of the booklet at http://sopos.org/olli/armut-fail.pdf
If I understand well, you want an automatic solution instead of a manual solution like this one \defineoverlay [foregraphics] [{\externalfigure[cow][width=5.8\textwidth,lines=41]}] \defineoverlay [backgraphics] [{\externalfigure[mill][width=2\textwidth,lines=20]}] \definecolumnset[ergebnisse][n=3] \definecolumnsetarea [title][left] [x=1,y=1,nx=6,ny=42,page=2,state=start,background={backgraphics,foreground,foregraphics}] \setupcolumnsetareatext[title][left][{% \ruledhbox to \dimexpr 6\textwidth+2\backspace+1cm\relax{\raggedright \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 1} \dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }} \hskip0.5em \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 2} \dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }} \hskip\backspace \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 3} \dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }} \hskip0.5em \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 4} \dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }} } }] -- luigi
