Thanks again for your suggestions! Still I have problems with the last column, which should be flushleft, exactly as wide as the containing text, and still aligned to the right page margin (the frame in this case). I experimented: \framed{ \bTABLE[option=stretch] \setupTABLE[frame=off,offset=0pt] \setupTABLE[column][last][width=2mm] % here is the difference \bTABLEhead \bTR[bottomframe=on] \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD Col2 \eTD \bTD Col3 \eTD \bTD Col4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{5}{\bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD \blackrule[height=5pt, width=30mm] \eTD \eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE} \framed{ \bTABLE[option=stretch] \setupTABLE[frame=off,offset=0pt] \setupTABLE[column][last][width=30mm] % here is the difference \bTABLEhead \bTR[bottomframe=on] \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD Col2 \eTD \bTD Col3 \eTD \bTD Col4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{5}{\bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD \blackrule[height=5pt, width=30mm] \eTD \eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE} In this case I know the last column width (30mm) but the output is unpredictable. In case I don't know the text width, is there a way to get a dummy width equal to \settowidth (latex)?
