Margin as the dimension parameter in \setuplayout is not the distance between text and the border, but the width of "an auxiliary field" on the left and right (chech the command above to see those fields). Does \setuplayout[ backspace=1.5in, width=6in, topspace=1in, height=9in, % or even better: height=middle footer=0in ] work OK for you? (width=middle can adjust the width automatically if backspace equals "forwardspace", but I'm not aware of an option that would calculate the width automatically for different space on left and right; perhaps you can use \dimexpr, but I didn't try it) Mojca
