Hello again, I want to set up a header which stretches across the margins as well as the text area, so I've defined a layer for use as a background, as follows: \setuplayout[backspace=3.5cm,leftmargin=0.5cm,leftmargindistance=1.0cm] \definelayer[pagenumber][width=3cm,height=3cm] \startsetups layer \setlayer[pagenumber]{Page \pagenumber} \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[header][leftmargin][setups=layer,background=pagenumber] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\page[empty]} \stoptext Unfortunately, the page numbers are all '1'. If I change the line: \setupbackgrounds[header][leftmargin][setups=layer,background=pagenumber] to \setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background=pagenumber] the page numbering works, so I can get what I want by adjusting the offsets of the layer. My question is: should the first one work? Regards, Richard Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd. Registration Number: 2416188 Registered in England and Wales.
