But there is another approach to this. There is an arranging possibility which looks as follows: \setuppapersize [XY][A4] \setuppaper [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm,dx=1mm,dy=2mm,nx=3,ny=4] % \setuplayout [page] [topspace=5mm, backspace=5mm, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, footer=0pt, footerdistance=0pt, location=middle, marking=on] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setuparranging [XY] \setupframedtexts [frame=off, leftframe=on, bottomframe=on, align=middle, location=middle, width=broad] %\showframe \startbuffer[Addresse1] \startframedtext ... \stopframedtext \page \stopbuffer \startbuffer[Addresse2] \startframedtext ... \stopframedtext \page \stopbuffer \starttext \dorecurse{6}{\getbuffer[Addresse\recurselevel]}%between first braces number of addresses you have in buffers \stoptext You will have to play with the different option parameters. It is usefull to start texshow :-) Gruss Willi
