Hello Luigi, Thanks for the footer ;-) But, currently, I've some difficulties to commit to the "Don't panic !" I've tried the following : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[ backspace=3cm, topspace=1.5cm, rightmargin=0cm,leftmargin=1.3cm, width=15cm, leftmargindistance=0.2cm, height=fit, header=0cm, footer=1cm, textheight=25.7cm ] And I obtain this (with \showlayout) : topspace 1.49979cm height 26.6962cm header 0.0cm headerdistance 0.0cm textheight 25.69635cm footer 0.99985cm footerdistance 0.0cm %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% BUT, when I add the following : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definelayout[1][ topspace=5.2cm, height=fit, textheight=23.7cm ] \definelayout[2][reset] For the page (1): topspace 5.19925cm height 19.29726cm header 0.0cm headerdistance 0.0cm textheight 18.2974cm footer 0.99985cm footerdistance 0.0cm For the page (2) and the following : topspace 1.49979cm height 26.6962cm header 0.0cm headerdistance 0.0cm textheight 18.2974cm footer 0.99985cm footerdistance 0.0cm %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The textheight is blocked to an unexpected value : 18.3cm for the whole document. I've read and re-read the manual, but I've not found my error...
