Thanks, this works quite good for me!
Will the other table environments get this feature too?

Dear list,

does context split table cells like Word (sorry for that ;-)) would do? 
(Please see the attached pdf examples). The table_test was generated 
with 

\starttext


\bTABLE[split=yes]

\setupTABLE[frame=off]

\setupTABLE[column][1][width=3.5cm]

\setupTABLE[column][2][width=11cm]

\dorecurse{3}{\bTR \bTD xxx \eTD \bTD \input knuth \eTD \eTR}

\eTABLE


\stoptext

The tabulate environment can split cells at a page break.

\starttext

\starttabulate[|w(3.5cm)|p|]
\dorecurse{4}{\NC xxx \NC \input knuth \NC\NR}
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
