Well, not for this particular problem, it happens here, too. But may I suggest the use of "natural tables" (aka TALBES)? I find them way more comfortable to use and the code is cleaner (to my eyes, at least). This should get you going: % Start of file \setupTABLE[r][first][foregroundstyle={\ss \bf \color[white]},background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,framecolor=blue] \setupTABLE[column][each][leftframe=off,rightframe=off] \setupTABLE[column][1][align=right] \setupTABLE[column][2][alignmentcharacter={.},aligncharacter=yes,align=middle,style={\color[red]}] \chardef\characteralignmentmode=2 \starttext \startplacetable[title=test] \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Category \eTH \bTH Data entry \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD First \eTD \bTD 35.12 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[background=color,backgroundcolor=red] Second \eTD \bTD 5.014 \eTD \eTR \bTR[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] \bTD Total \eTD \bTD 110 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopplacetable \stoptext % End of file More information: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE Many more examples: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/enattab.pdf Cheers!

I think the using \start- \stoptable is not recommended (MkIV) any more. Instead you can use \starttabulate[|l|l|] \CM[yellow] Command \NC Meaning \NC\NR\FL \NC \tex{NC} \NC next column \NC\NR \NC \tex{NR} \CM[green] next row \NC\NR \NC \tex{HL} \CM[blue] horizontal line \NC\NR\FL \stoptabulate Or as already suggested the \bTABLE … \eTABLE or the new xtable-environment.

I consider the table environment to be useful for short tables where I don’t want any setups to adjust the vertical spacing which is easy here with \AR etc. but for complicated layouts and tables with lots of texts tabulate and TABLE are better suited.
Or as already suggested the \bTABLE … \eTABLE or the new xtable-environment.
For short tables with a complex layout you can use \startTABLE. Wolfgang
