Hi, I used the following exam format well which was set by the help of Wolfgang long time ago. Recently I got a strange output when I used \startplacetable or \placetable in the \startcolumnset … \stopcolumnset. There is a strange number first and table in the next column. The output is OK if I comment out either \startcolumnset or \placetable. Is “\definecolumnset, \startcolumnset” still a good command? I couldn’t find it in the list of commands. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%%%%%%%% \startuseMPgraphic{verticalrule} if CurrentColumn < NOfColumns : draw leftboundary OverlayBox;% shifted (-1mm,0); draw rightboundary OverlayBox shifted (4mm,0); draw rightboundary OverlayBox shifted (TextWidth+6mm,0); draw bottomboundary OverlayBox shifted (1mm,0); draw bottomboundary OverlayBox shifted (TextWidth+6mm,0); setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox enlarged 2.5mm; fi \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [verticalrule] [\useMPgraphic{verticalrule}] \definecolumnset [exam] [n=2, background=verticalrule] \starttext \startcolumnset[exam] \startcolumns[n=2, rule=on] \startitemize[n] \item Question 1.
