I cannot duplicate the problem using a trivial test file, so this needs a minimal example. (I found it quite easy to achieve the opposite case) Taco

Does using one of the keywords work? For example, \setupwhitespace[small] Enjoy, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/! Born in Chicago, IL USA; currently residing in Gothenburg, Sweden. main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Enjoy, nikolai Keywords help, dimensions don't.
Taco asked for a minimal example. I don't want to make it too minimal however since there may be some unsuspected interaction between all my code and the way it is supposed to work. With that caveat here is my example. If one comments out \parskip and uncomments \setupwhitespace then the spacing above the word "August" is greater. Reverse these steps and it is smaller. ----------------------------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer,middle] \setupwhitespace[3pt] %\parskip 3pt \setupfonthandling [hz] [min=25,max=25,step=5] \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal] \usetypescriptfile[type-enc] \usetypescript [adobekb] [8r] \usetypescript [charter][8r] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setuplayout[width=.8\paperwidth,location=middle, topspace=0.3in, header=0.24in, height=10in ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupitemize[packed,columns] \tolerance=500 \widowpenalty=10000 \clubpenalty=10000 \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal] \usetypescriptfile[type-charter] \usetypescript [Charter][8r] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont [MyCharter,9pt] \starttext \startcolumns \section{Calendar} \subsection{2005} {\bf June}\crlf 11-12: AD NADAC Agility Games Trial\crlf 12: Obedience Show-n-Go {\bf July}\crlf 10: Obedience Show-n-Go {\bf August}\crlf 14: Annual Summer Picnic and\crlf General Membership meeting\crlf L.

You were missing:
\setupcolumns[blank=3pt]
please don't ask me why columns have their own whitespace settings, they just do. ;)
Greetings, Taco
As we say over here "there is no reason for it, it is just company policy." But at least there is an explanation. Thanks to you one more time. BTW the Context Manual p 64 doesn't mention a dimension as an allowable value for to the the "blank=" parameter. Best wishes, John Culleton

columns have their own value because it influences grid handling and such Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
