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.
