The band is small, just, say, 2cm high and 12 cm wide. Since it's at the top it is surrounded by white on only three sides. I'm not even sure where to get started here (I don't think the LaTeX Graphics Companion will be much help:->) Here is part of my present layout. I'll have to put this band in the topspace and increase it, I presume: \definepapersize[journal][width=5.5in, height=8.5in] \setuppapersize[journal][letter] \setuplayout[width=middle, | height=19cm, | footer=0cm, | header=0cm, | topspace=28pt, | location={middle,doublesided}, | marking=on] I hope the solution is Plain-compatible since I may have to use Gamma for some Arabic insertions. Otherwise I'll have to eps those insertions. Thnx in advance Idris
