Hi, 

try:

\definepapersize[myformat][height=210mm, width=148mm]
\setuppapersize[myformat]

Best wishes,

#    Hi,
#    If A5 is 210mm x 148mm (and [1]the internet assures me that it is), then
#    shouldn't these two setuppapersize variants give the same result? They
#    don't seem to.
# 
#    %\setuppapersize[A5]
# 
#    \setuppapersize[height=210mm, width=148mm]
# 
#    \starttext
# 
#    \input ward.tex
# 
#    \stoptext
# 
#    The reason I ask is because I'd like to prepare a PDF for printing via
#    IngramSpark, and have discovered that (bizarrely) their Australian branch
#    doesn't support A5 for colour books. They do offer 6x9 (229x152), and I
#    was wondering what values to use in 'setuppapersize', so I thought I'd
#    experiment with the A5 sizing because it's a well known size.
# 
#    Now I have no idea :-(
# 
#    Thanks
# 
#    Kerry
