Sorry, I got not yet experienced with columnsets, but it should work like this (sample of the header field of a multi column layout): \definecolumnset[five][n=5,distance=6mm] \definecolumntextarea [mytitlefiedl] [right][x=1,y=1,nx=4,ny=18] \definecolumntextarea [mytitlefield] [left] [x=2,y=1,nx=4,ny=18] \startbuffer[sample] Name Author \title{My Title} Some Preface \stopbuffer \setupcolumntextareatext [mytitlefield] [right][{\getbuffer[sample]}] Hint: Define a columnset whose column width fits n-times in both of your desired text columns. Define column text areas for them. x = start in set column x y = start in grid line y nx = span nx set columns ny = span ny grid lines As following you get five slim columns (as defined above): \startcolumnset[five] \stopcolumnset HTH Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.angerweit.de http://www.fiee.net http://www.ramm.ch ---
