I have cooked up a nice-looking template without too many frills that kind of copies what I used to do in Keynote (shaded background, footers etc.). There's one important thing I can't get to work: is it possible to have a picture and a text next to it with the text being centered horizontally and vertically like so? picturepicturepicture picturepicturepicture picturepicturepicture Here picturepicturepicture goes all the picturepicturepicture text picturepicturepicture picturepicturepicture What I tried is this: \startfiguretext[left]{none}{\externalfigure[picture]} \vfill \midaligned{Here} \midaligned{goes all the} \midaligned{text} \vfill \stopfiguretext but that doesn't work. I also tried things like \framed and \startcombinations (calling the text from a buffer), but all in vain. There doesn't seem to be an easy mechanism for centering stuff vertically in ConTeXt? Any help would be appreciated! Best Thomas
