I needed to decrease the spacing between paragraphs to fit everything in to a newsletter with limited page count.

Does using one of the keywords work? For example,
\setupwhitespace[small]
Enjoy, nikolai Keywords help, dimensions don't.
Taco asked for a minimal example. I don't want to make it too minimal however since there may be some unsuspected interaction between all my code and the way it is supposed to work. With that caveat here is my example. If one comments out \parskip and uncomments \setupwhitespace then the spacing above the word "August" is greater. Reverse these steps and it is smaller. ----------------------------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer,middle] \setupwhitespace[3pt] %\parskip 3pt \setupfonthandling [hz] [min=25,max=25,step=5] \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal] \usetypescriptfile[type-enc] \usetypescript [adobekb] [8r] \usetypescript [charter][8r] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setuplayout[width=.8\paperwidth,location=middle, topspace=0.3in, header=0.24in, height=10in ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupitemize[packed,columns] \tolerance=500 \widowpenalty=10000 \clubpenalty=10000 \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal] \usetypescriptfile[type-charter] \usetypescript [Charter][8r] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont [MyCharter,9pt] \starttext \startcolumns \section{Calendar} \subsection{2005} {\bf June}\crlf 11-12: AD NADAC Agility Games Trial\crlf 12: Obedience Show-n-Go {\bf July}\crlf 10: Obedience Show-n-Go {\bf August}\crlf 14: Annual Summer Picnic and\crlf General Membership meeting\crlf L.

Some of my InDesign-using friends say that the reason they don't switch to Open Source like TeX or Scribus is because of support issues. They don't understand why I laugh so hard :) -- John Culleton
