You need a “p” column to have paragraphs in a columns. You can also use natural tables which paragraphs aren’t a problem. \starttext \placetable[here][tab:multilinesinonecell]{Multi Lines in One Cell} {\starttable[|l|p(5cm)|][textwidth=8.8cm] \HL \NC \bf FIRST COL \NC \JustCenter \bf SECOND COL \NC\SR \HL \NC first line \NC one line in cell \NC\MR \HL \NC second line \NC first line in second line's 2nd col \par second line in second line's 2nd col \NC\MR \HL \NC third line \NC third line's 2nd col \NC\LR \HL \stoptable} \placetable[here][tab:multilinesinonecell]{Multi Lines in One Cell} {\setupTABLE[c][1][width=3.3cm] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=5.5cm] \bTABLE[frame=off,topframe=on,bottomframe=on] \bTR[align=middle] \bTH FIRST COL \eTH \bTH SECOND COL \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD first line \eTD \bTD one line in cell \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD second line \eTD \bTD first line in second line's 2nd col \par second line in second line's 2nd col \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD third line \eTD \bTD third line's 2nd col \eTD \eTR \eTABLE} \stoptext Wolfgang
