I've fiddled with almost every parameter in sethead but cannot seem to find the correct one. I'd like to suppress the chapter numbers in a relatively large document such that numbering of sections, tables, figures and equations begins at 1 instead of 1.1. Is there a simple way to do this? Here are how my chapters and sections are currently defined: \def\MyChapterText#1{\leftaligned{#1}} \setuphead[Topic,chapter] [textcommand=\MyChapterText, textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[Titling,20pt]\sc}, color=black, number=no, page=right, continue=no, header=empty, distance=0pt, before=\vbox to 3cm\bgroup, after=\vss\egroup] \def\MySectionText#1{\switchtobodyfont[12pt]\sc\lowercase{#1}} \setuphead[Subject, section] [textcommand=\MySectionText, style={\sc}, color=black, before={\blank[2*big]}, after={\blank[2*big]}] Many thanks, Randall
