Sorry for being incomplete. Below is an example that generates PDF. You will see the grey boxes with pagenumbers sticking out from the margins. I want them not to stick out, but to move their outer border flush with the outer border of the margin. What doesn't fit in the margin should go into the lower text area....

Ok, I see.

so you have

(margin) | | text | | text | | text | | ----------- | 1 | ___________

and you want

| | text | | text | | text | | ----------- | 1 | ___________

I wonder if there is a \setuppagenumbering{location=inedge}, because then you could use \llap{\omlijnd...} and \rlap{\omlijnd} for odd and even pages respectively.

\def\mijnpaginanummer {\ss\bfb \inlijnd [kader=uit,achtergrond=kleur,achtergrondkleur=middelgrijs, breedte=2.5cm,hoogte=1.1cm] {\paginanummer}} \stelnummeringin [variant=dubbelzijdig, plaats=] \stelvoettekstenin [marge] [] [\doifoddpageelse {\hfill\llap{\mijnpaginanummer}} {\rlap{\mijnpaginanummer}\hfill}] ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
