Hi, There is an extra vertical space in the first set of formulas, while the vertical spacing in the second set appears to be fine. I can not figure out why this should happen. Even if you comment the setupformulas line, the first set of formulas seem to allocate more space for the intertext. \setupformulas[align=right,spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none] % There appears to be extra space, even if I put % spacebefore=spaceafter=big % align = right is for visualization purpose only \starttext \startTEXpage \startformula \startalign \NC A \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC C \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula test outside formula \startformula \startalign \NC A \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC C \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula \blank[big] \startformula \startalign \NC \int_0^1 \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC \int_0^1 \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula test outside formula \startformula \startalign \NC \int_0^1 \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC \int_0^1 \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stopTEXpage \stoptext And what is happening with the start stop TEX page here. Why is the last line cut off! Thanks, Aditya
