So I tried something like: \startcolumns[n=3] \framed{first address...} \vskip 0.5cm plus 1fill \framed{second address...} \vskip 0.5cm plus 1fill \framed{third address...} . . . \stopcolumns Which (obviously because I use TeX code inside ConTeXt - shame on me) fails, the frames are not aligned at the bottom. So I'm looking for a way to typeset them with a distance of at least 0.5cm and align at the bottom - the remaining space should be spread equally... I hope the question is understandable and I hope someone has already done something like this... Greetings, ALeX P.S.: Hans, thanks again for the tutorial in Darmstadt - now I know about the layer and overlay stuff, I use it extensively :-) -- ...
