For the next iteration I wanted to reduce the size by one half, in other words a half letter sheet on a letter sheet. I came up with this: \definepapersize[halff][width 5.5in,height=8.5in] \definepapersize[ful][width 8.5in,height=11in] \setuppapersize[halff][ful] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided] Now no amount of fiddling with \setuplayout parameters seems to place the logical pages correctly on the paper. If I use no such parameters whatever the entire physical page image seem to slide toward the bottom of the piece of paper. As a result the bottom logical page slides halfway off the page. Can anyone spot an obvious goof?
