I don't know why it is like this but changing it now would probably break a lot of documents that rely on the defaults. I suspect that most people, me included, simply adjust margin sizes until they have a pleasing result. This would only become a problem if margin text is used a lot. The following corrects for the left margin starting off the page for both single and doublesided documents. The remainder of the settings will need adjusting to suit your specific circumstances. \setuppapersize[A4][A3] \setuplayout[location=middle] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout[backspace=30.8mm] \starttext \showlayout[4,pt,cm] \stoptext — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
