Supposedly \tablulate can handle a multiline paragraph in a single cell. It didn't work for me. The text just ran off the right edge of the page. So here is my two column table with a workaround. --------------------------------------------- \starttext {\bf Figure 2.3: Specialty Food Store Classifications} \setupframed[framecorner=rectanglular,background=none] \tfx \placetable[force,none]{} \starttabulate[|lw(.25\textwidth)|lpw(.75\textwidth)|] \HL ... \NC Housewares \NC Gourmet pots and pans and other cookware, with some impulse\NC\NR \NC \null \NC and companion food items \NC\NR ... \HL \stoptabulate \tf \stoptext ------------- In my version the \null command was necessary to skip the left column. Also, I want the title of the table at the top and not the bottom. So I have to add a separate title line at the top and blank out the generated title with a graphic of blank space placed below the table thus: \vskip -0.35in \externalfigure[blanker.pdf] There ought to be an easier way to get rid of the title at the bottom of the table but this is the best I could come up with. The file blanker.pdf was generated in Scribus 1.5.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
