Hi,
I've experimented this morning with the solutions suggested by Wolfgang
and Alan in reply to my post.
The solution is really quite simple as suggested by Wolfgang i.e.
\centerbox{..}. I have applied this to the code and I now have three
different solutions to my initial problem. The Joy of ConTeXt!
Thanks again Wolfgang and Alan.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay
Here is the code showing the three solutions which others may find useful.
