Step 1:
Create a document with a very big left margin where you can place all
floats.
\setuppapersize
[A3,landscape]
\setuplayout
[backspace=23.5cm,
width=15cm,edge=14cm]
\showframe
\setupfloat
[default=leftedge,
minwidth=14cm]
\starttext
\input ward
\startplacefigure
\externalfigure[dummy]
\stopplacefigure
\input knuth
\startplacetable
\starttabulate[|c|c|c|]
\FL
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC\NR
\ML
\NC X \NC Y \NC Z \NC\NR
\LL
\stoptabulate
\stopplacetable
\input zapf
\stoptext
Step 2:
Split each page into two separate pages where one contains all floats
while the other page contains the text.
Wolfgang
