Hi all,<br>
<br>
Attached is an example showing my misunderstanding about grid
alignment.&nbsp; The attached works as expected when
\setuplayout[grid=no] is used or the 'Author table' is commented
out.&nbsp;&nbsp; The inclusion of the little table in the text is
really just to convince myself that I can have a table with the grid
enabled.<br>
<br>
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Randall<br>
