I don't know enough about ConTeXt to declare this The Right Way(tm), but here's one way that Works For Me(tm): \starttext \newdimen\mydimen \mydimen=1in \hbox{\framed[height=\mydimen,width=1in]{before} \advance\mydimen by 55mm \framed[height=\mydimen,width=1in]{after}} \stoptext -- Stuart Jansen Guru Labs, L.C.

Hello Paul, I think backspace=\dimexpr(55mm+1in) should work. Best regards, Micke P

better: \dimexpr 55mm+1in\relax ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

This sometimes works but correct syntax is backspace=\dimexpr 55mm+1in \relax vit
