How to set a layout shown in the attachment png file?

How to set a layout shown in the attachment png file?

Dear all,

I attached a PNG file to show the layout that I want. I want the text part narrowed and
right aligned. I tried the following settings:

\setuplayout
   [backspace=20mm,
    topspace=20mm,
    height=257mm,
    width=170mm,
    %textwidth=115mm,
    header=10mm,
    footer=0mm,
    rightmargin=0mm,
    leftmargin=25mm,
    leftmargindistance=-25mm,]

The problem is that text is too wide. I commented the 'textwidth' for it will make the
narrowed text centering. What else do I need to set?


Best wishes,
Wei-Wei

try:
      ...
      width=115mm,
      ...
      leftmargindistance=25mm]
'width' is used to set the textwidth. And 'leftmargindistance'is used to
indicate the distance between the lefmargin column and the body text, so I
think it should be a positive amount. This setting will result in an empty
backspace of 20mm + margin of 25mm + 25mm whitespace + 115mm bodytext +
cutspace of 25mm cutspace (assuming you're using A4 papersize).

Regards,
Alex

The picture only shows relative position of header, text, and margin.

I tried. It doesn't work. As my understanding, margin and margindistance do not
affect layout. They only decide where margins are.
