(x=0.25 in your example, because you have 4 columns: so you have \setupTABLE[x][width=0.25\textwidth] )

Of course this setup a TABLE with four columns of equal width and total width =\textwidth; For different width : \setupTABLE[x][1][width=0.2\textwidth] \setupTABLE[x][2][width=0.25\textwidth] \setupTABLE[x][3][width=0.25\textwidth] \setupTABLE[x][4][width=0.3\textwidth] luigi

Do you know, if this is possible with TABLE:

\starttext \SetTableToWidth{10cm} \starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \VL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \VL xxxxxxx \VL x \VL\AR \HL \stoptable \stoptext

Cheers, Peter

Hmm, I change a little your code to better understand it \starttext \SetTableToWidth{10cm} \setbox100=\vbox{\starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \VL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \VL xxxxxxx xxxxxxx \VL x x \VL\AR \HL \stoptable} \starttyping \SetTableToWidth{10cm} \setbox100=\vbox{% \starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \VL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \VL xxxxxxx xxxxxxx \VL x x \VL\AR \HL \stoptable} \stoptyping \type{\wd100=}{\tt \PtToCm{\wd100}}\par \type{\ruledvbox{\unvbox100}:}\par \ruledvbox{\unvbox100} \stoptext and I see on log Overfull \hbox (11.63779pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 14--14 [][]\*12pttttf* \VL[] []xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[] [][] []xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[] []\VL[] []xx xxxxx[] []xxxxxxx[] []\VL[] []x[] []x[] []\VL\AR If I fix table width, I must care about cell content to avoid overfull hbox; so fix table width is useless, because I have already calculate by fixing cell content. I will look into natural table to see something similar to \SetTableToWidth luigi
