Just insert it right before #+results keyword. #+results is just another affiliated keyword and can be combined with others. #+NAME: random-table-1 #+RESULTS: get-random-table | 0.645291731692851 | | 0.0425670417025685 | | 0.220107783330604 | | 0.413881630403921 | | 0.817712268792093 | | 0.972381719155237 | Also, if you use :exports results, you can refer to the table as "get-random-table" - the same with the source block name. > Trying to insert lines using subsequent code blocks (arguments, noweb, > etc.) will either strip Org table formatting or add additional lines > within the table instead of outside of it (depending on the ':results' > arguments).

It shows how to prepend #+ATTR_LATEX :width 5cm. #+NAME: would be the same. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
