John, Perhaps you may find the columnsets command to your liking. See more here: http://pragrama-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf Best, Mica On 05/26, john Culleton wrote:

In Scribus, (which has many shortcomings compared to Context for book length documents,) there is one trick that is pretty easy. In a double column document one can place a graphic in another layer that is part in one column and part in another, but not spanning either column completely. Then the texts in each column can be made to flow around the graphic. I have looked in "It's in the details" and the "Columns" document but I cannot find this specific example. I thought I saw one years ago.

Is such a trick possible in Context without heroic special coding?
