Thanks, Hans. I have now tried ... preliminary text .... \starttabulate[|p|p|] \NC long paragraph A \NC long paragraph B \NC\NR \stoptabulate on my setup (ConTeXt 2008.08.04 MK II) and on the wiki (ConTeXt 2008.08.27 MK II). On the wiki: the tabulated paragraphs do not follow upon the preliminary text immediately on the same page but start on their own page. On my setup: the tabulated paragraphs do not follow upon the preliminary text immediately on the same page but start on their own page after some 22 blank pages! (If I run ConTeXt again this number increases.) The entire document should be 6 pages long. I am trying to update any version of ConTeXt---updates after 2008.08.04 will not compile for some reason (I get format mismatch errors). So for now, if I could get this to work on the wiki that would be progress of sorts. Alan On Aug 27, 2008, at 07;33,00 , Hans Hagen wrote:

I have set two paragraphs side by side using
\defineparagraphs[TwoColumns] [n=2,tolerance=verytolerant,before={\blank},after={\blank}] \setupparagraphs[TwoColumns][distance=1pc]
One of the columns is the length of the page. How do I prevent the two columns from starting a new page? Right now there is a large whitespace on the preceding page. (This problem has been raised before, but I have not yet found the answer.)
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
use \starttabulate ... instead
