Many thanks for the suggestion Vit. In this case, however, I've split the \starttable and \stoptable commands in the \startAuthors and \stopAuthors definitions which may well be the root of my problem. This means that I cannot easily wrap the whole table with \placeongrid{ }. I cannot see a way of

One more quick question. When using a grid, I gather that I should wrap all floating content (tables figures in my case) with \placeongrid to ensure \snaptogrid is being used. Does this also apply to formulae? i.e. should I be using: \placeformula \placeongrid{% \startformula ...

Thank you Adam! My problem of the perpetual bold characters is now solved. My *last* problem is that I get strange characters in place of bold upper-case Greek characters (\Gamma, \Xi, etc)? The lower-case Greeks work fine. This has all the halmarks of an encoding problem but I'm not entirely

Hi Randall. It's a slightly confusing one - this behaviour is actually controlled via the \setupsection command, which deals with the high-level behaviour of sectioning commands like \chapter and (confusingly!) \section. The setup you want is \setupsection[section-3][previousnumber=no]
