I did it in plain TeX with pstricks thus: ------------------------------------------------------------ \input pstricks \special{papersize=4.25in,9.5in} \voffset 4.5in \parindent 0pt \parskip 0pt \def\crlf{\hfil\break} \rput{90}{ \vbox{ John Culleton\crlf 2401 Haight Avenue\crlf Eldersburg, MD 21784 { \leftskip 3.75in \obeylines \input addr } } } \bye ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of printing a horizontal page and rotating the page I printed a vertical page and rotated the text within it. Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common problem. John Culleton
