How to set a layout shown in the attachment png file?
Dear all, I attached a PNG file to show the layout that I want. I want the text part narrowed and right aligned. I tried the following settings: \setuplayout [backspace=20mm, topspace=20mm, height=257mm, width=170mm, %textwidth=115mm, header=10mm, footer=0mm, rightmargin=0mm, leftmargin=25mm, leftmargindistance=-25mm,] The problem is that text is too wide. I commented the 'textwidth' for it will make the narrowed text centering. What else do I need to set? Best wishes, Wei-Wei

From the picture the exact measures are not clear, but perhaps you should try: ... width=115mm, ... leftmargindistance=25mm] 'width' is used to set the textwidth. And 'leftmargindistance'is used to indicate the distance between the lefmargin column and the body text, so I think it should be a positive amount. This setting will result in an empty backspace of 20mm + margin of 25mm + 25mm whitespace + 115mm bodytext + cutspace of 25mm cutspace (assuming you're using A4 papersize).

The picture only shows relative position of header, text, and margin.

I tried. It doesn't work. As my understanding, margin and margindistance do not affect layout. They only decide where margins are. Best wishes, Wei-Wei
