You could also try to adjust the > margins to get more text on the page. Thanks, 9pt was my original choice, but someone complained about this size. In the meanwhile I got another problem. The central page of this booklet should contain a text which fits an A4 sheet so we will have [A5][A4, landscape] papersize on pages 1-8, 2-7, 3-6 and [A4, rotated][A4,landscape] in pages 4-5. My trivial code (obviously) doesn't work and searching wiki and ml didn't give much help: \setuppapersize[A5][A4, landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \startpostponing[4] \setuppapersize[A4,rotated][A4,landscape] \input knuth \page \stoppostponing \startext \dorecurse{50}{\input hawking} \stoptext How can I achieve the desired result?
