You can switch to a centered layout for the titlepage with \setuplayout[titlepage][width=3Dmiddle] As Hans told the default layout is not centered because when you=92re using a docublesided document the sum of the inner margin on the left and right page should be equal to the width of the outer margin. To compensate for the loss at the inner margin you can increase the backspace with \setuplayout[backspace=3D % default: 2.5cm for A4 paper Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
