I've found a discussion in the archives from January 2006, but it hasn't helped. \setupbackgrounds[page][background=Letterhead,DisclaimerWatermark,SignatureBlock,DocumentStatus] doesn't work, only the last layer defined shows (each of the dynamic backgrounds is defined as a layer.) Does the plural in setupbackgrounds not mean multiple backgrounds? If so, is there a stacking order (the imported PDF letterhead may have an opaque background)? Also, the first document page requires a table and text block side-by-side. I probably could use a float for the text block, but wanted to use a layer. Am I approaching this the wrong way? -- david ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
