The framedtext takes the full linewidth and apparently does not reduces it to the given size. Therefore enclosing in a vbox seems necessary: \vbox{\hsize=framesize\startframedtext{width=framesize ... Question for Hans Hagen: is it an option letting framedtext set the hsize when a specific width is given? yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer
