I would suggest to only rearrange it a bit for your column layout. Also TABLE is not the best choise here (I'm no table expert, but I think table is better here).
%\SetTableToWidth\hsize \starttable[|l|r|l|r|] \dorecurse{10}{% \VL foo \NC 123 \VL[2] b \NC 12345 \VL\AR} \stoptable For more details about table see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table HTH, Peter > Thank you for your interest. > > Regards, Johan > > > 2006/9/27, Peter Rolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> Johan Sandblom wrote: >>> What is missing from the example that started the thread? >>> >> Nothing, but I think it would be a waste of time.
