If possible, post a minimal example that illustrates the problem; use \input's like ward.tex, knuth.tex, zapf.tex etc. (in the distro) so some of us can run the test file and report back. Sometimes someone will know the answer without such an example but for even faster service ;-) always try to include a minimal example when possible.

Indeed. I'm truly sorry. I attach a sample document with the relevant stuff. I made the TOC start a little lower on the page just to provoke the page switching, instead of adding an unwieldy amount of dummy chapters to acheive the same result.

Thanks, and sorry again! Jeff

Hi Jeff, you can use dummy chapters next time without problems. I changed a few of your settings because this should be a nice example I could use myself in the future (it's to easy to forgot many of the necessary settings). \usemodule[visual] % example with faked text \setuplayout [width=middle, footer=2cm, topspace=2cm, header=1.3em, height=middle, backspace=3cm, headerdistance=0.3cm, footerdistance=0cm] \startsetups header:bodymatter \setupbackgrounds[header][text][frame=off,bottomframe=on] % Hans mentioned this method long ago on the list \setupheader [text] [lefttext={\it\getmarking[chapternumber].\space\getmarking[chapter]}, righttext=\pagenumber] \stopsetups \startsetups header:frontmatter \setupheader [text] [righttext=\pagenumber] \stopsetups \setupsectionblock [frontpart] [page=yes, % else problem with last page of the table of contents before=\setups{header:frontmatter}] \setupsectionblock [bodypart] [page=no, before=\setups{header:bodymatter}] \setupsectionblock[appendix] [page=no] \setupsectionblock[backpart] [page=no] \setuppagenumbering [state=start, location=, % already set with \setupheadertexts way=bytext, partnumber=no, conversion=numbers] % default \definetext[chapter][footer][pagenumber] \setuphead[chapter][header=high,footer=chapter] \setuphead [part] [%header=high, % already done for the chapter header %footer=high, % overloads the chapter setting, footer=pagenumber placehead=no, resetnumber=no] \setupheadtext[fr][content=Table des mati\egrave res] \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{3} {\part{\fakewords{5}{10}} \dorecurse{3} {\chapter{\fakewords{5}{10}} \dorecurse{2} {\section{\fakewords{5}{10}} \fakewords{150}{200} \dorecurse{2} {\subsection{\fakewords{5}{10}} \fakewords{150}{200}}}}} \stopbodymatter \stoptext Wolfgang

So the strategy is to use \startsetups. This worked beautifully! Thank you VERY much! :-)

Do you think your example should go in the Wiki somewhere?

Why don't you register as user and edit your page ? -- luigi

Hi, I'm bringing that example up again because there is a small problem with it. :-) The very last page of the resulting document has no header! I've been having this problem before, and I mentioned it on this list a while ago. What I did was lazily abandon the frontmatter/bodymatter structure and it was solved. So I guess this is part of the problem as well here. Or at least, on my side of things. When I compile the example above, as is, there is no header on the very last page. The header should have a bottom frame with the chapter number and title on the left, and page number of the right. The exception to this is the first page of a chapter. And indeed, everything is as expected in the document, until the very last page, as I said, which is not the beginning of a new chapter. So, what to do here? I do need the frontmatter/bodymatter structure anyway. So there must be something else... Thanks! Jeff

adding \page before ending the sectionblock may help

But this give also a rule in the header at the last page, the following code give at least a empty last page. \setupsectionblock [bodypart] [page=no, before=\setups{header:bodymatter}, after={\page\setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=off]}] Wolfgang
