Hi, With... \startinteractionmenu[right] \placecontent[..., criterium=chapter (or section), ...] \stopinteractionmenu and chapter/section lists longer than the text area height, how do you prevent the menu items from extending beyond the bottom of the text area (and page) and have the menu scroll down after the menu's bottom chapter/section item ? I tried my luck with distance=\textheight but no luck and don't see any other option which could provide this feature. Thanks, Alan

it's a fixed size area so the best you can do is to either make the fontsize smaller, the area wider (less linebreaks) or see of \startsimplecolumns ... \stopsimplecolumns helps Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

It would decrease the menu readability too much.
the area wider (less linebreaks)
It would decrease the text area width too much.
or see of \startsimplecolumns ... \stopsimplecolumns
Although I don't see how adding columns would provide a solution - the chapter/section titles are in french, i.e. usually longer than for ex. in english ( they could be shortened and then most would become meaningless) - where is that command documented ? I didn't find it in the main manual, excursion, wiki, texshow.
helps
Not really I'm afraid. :O(
Thanks anyway.
Best,

in that case don't menu's just use local tocs in the text area and use the menu to refer to them ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
