[A1][A1]
\setupcolors
[state=start]
\definelayer
[page]
[width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=page]
\startstandardmakeup
\startbuffer
\input ward
\stopbuffer
\setlayerframed
[page]
[preset=lefttop]
[align=normal,
width=.25\paperwidth,
frame=off]
{\getbuffer}
\setlayerframed
[page]
[offset=.2\paperwidth,
preset=righttop]
[width=.2\paperwidth,
align=normal]
{\getbuffer}
\setlayerframed
