Hello, I am trying to vertically align images within a bTABLE/Natural Table cell.

The result should be 4 cards on an A4 page with a simple maths exercise and a small image that illustrates the exercise. The image should be horizontally and vertically centered within the space after the text. Exercise text and image size vary somewhat, so a fixed placement is not possible.

I have tried \vfill, but it seems to have no effect in a Natural Table. Similarly, \placefigure has not worked for me.

As basic layout I am using a Natural Table (4 x 4 cells per page, 12 pages), maybe not the best solution. Alternative suggestions are most welcome.

Suggestions would be much appreciated.

\starttext \setupTABLE[frame=on,offset=2mm] \setupTABLE[c][1,2][width=.5\textwidth] \setupTABLE[r][1,2][height=.5\textheight]

\bTABLE \bTR \bTD 7·3 apples are on a tree. Anne picks 4·3 apples. \blank[.5em] How many apples remain on the tree?

\framed[align={low,middle},location=lohi,width=local]{\externalfigure[apple]} \eTD \eTABLE \stoptext

Hello Martin, I am guessing at directing you away from bTABLE. Maybe imposition will help (along with the module fullpage to keep it simpler.) \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \usemodule[fullpage][style={margin,empty},margin=1.4cm] \useMPlibrary[dum] \setuppapersize[A6][A4] \setuppaper[nx=2,ny=2] \setuplayout[page][location=middle] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe \starttext 73 apples are on a tree.\\ Anne picks 43 apples. \blank How many apples remain on the tree? \placefigure[bottom,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]} \page \input ward \placefigure[bottom,none]{}{\externalfigure[B]} \page \input thuan \placefigure[bottom,none]{}{\externalfigure[C]} \page Jack and Jill went up the hill with the Duke of York. \placefigure[bottom,none]{}{\externalfigure[D]} \stoptext
