Hello: After \startcolumns ... \stopcolumns there a big blank space. This sample shows it. %%%%%%%%% \starttext \startcolumns \input tufte \input tufte \input tufte \stopcolumns {\bf This should appear in the first page, below {\em tufte,} there is enough room.} \stoptext %%%%%%%%% why the last line jumps to a new page? Thankyou very much. -------------------- Horacio Suarez
