I am trying to setup a number of small pages (A8 size) to print on one letter size page, and I have been unable to determine how to accomplish my aim of seeing/printing crop marks, but not seeing/printing page numbers. I can't find the answer in the manuals, and I have failed in my attempts to manipulate \setuplayout and \setuppagenumbering successfully. Maybe someone can point the way to the solution... Following is my file: %output=pdftex \setuppapersize[A8,landscape][letter] \setupbodyfont[9pt] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setuplayout[topspace=2cm,location=middle,nx=2,ny=4,marking=on] \starttext {\hbox {\setupframed [align=middle,top=\vfill,bottom=\vfill, offset=overlay,frame=off]% \setupinterlinespace[height=.45,depth=.18,top=1.0,bottom=0.4,line=2.4ex] \setupunderbar[bottomoffset=.75ex] \framed {a few lines of text}}} \stoptext What I would like to obtain is something like: | | | | _ _ _ _ text text _ _ _ _ | | | | | | | | _ _ _ _ text text _ _ _ _ | | | | | | | | _ _ _ _ text text _ _ _ _ | | | | etc. What would also work would be: | | | _ _ _ _ text text _ | _ | _ | _ | | | text text _ | _ | _ | _ | | | etc. What I am getting, which doesn't work is: 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 _ _ _ _ text text 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 _ _ _ _ 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 text text etc. I can't get crop marks without numbers, sorry if the answer is obvious, but any help will be appreciated. pm
