Thanks for the solution. This is the second time in a row I've been referred to the original exporter announcement. I'm sorry that my questions are so basic, but I put off switching to 8.0 because my understanding of how org and Emacs work is not very deep and I know little elisp. Once I have things set up, I leave them alone and get to work. I'm very grateful to this list for helping me figure out things that, in hindsight, are obvious. Scott Randby
