The code below defines a number and then on each row, displays then increments the number. The number is defined and reset to 0 before the table is declared. However, when the number is displayed in the table, it's not zero as expected, but some other number (usually between 3 and 9). The reset at reset point #1 does reset the number to 0, but it doesn't stay that way when the table is declared. The only thing I have found to work, is to define a row and column and put the reset there (see reset point #2). I would like to declare and reset the number outside of the table definition, but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? \definenumber[MyNum] \starttext \resetnumber[MyNum] % reset point #1 \bTABLE % \bTR\bTD \resetnumber[MyNum] \eTD\eTR % reset point #2 \bTR\bTD \getnumber[MyNum]\incrementnumber[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD \getnumber[MyNum]\incrementnumber[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD \getnumber[MyNum]\incrementnumber[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD \getnumber[MyNum]\incrementnumber[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

the table is passed several times to get the size maxima, etc. your number is also incremented in every pass (how many passes?). ;) use something like this to take care of trial typesetting: \definenumber[MyNum] \def\IncrTABLEnum[#1]% {\iftrialtypesetting \hbox{00}% allocate some space in the first pass \else \getnumber[#1]\incrementnumber[#1]% \fi} \starttext \resetnumber[MyNum] % reset point #1 \bTABLE % \bTR\bTD \resetnumber[MyNum] \eTD\eTR % reset point #2 \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD \IncrTABLEnum[MyNum] \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext best, peter

Peter, Thanks for you input. It works great and it would have take me forever to figure that one out! Thanks, Bart On Wednesday January 30 2008, Peter Rolf wrote:

use something like this to take care of trial typesetting:
\definenumber[MyNum]
\def\IncrTABLEnum[#1]% {\iftrialtypesetting \hbox{00}% allocate some space in the first pass \else \getnumber[#1]\incrementnumber[#1]% \fi}
