Hello!
This is my first message. I'm excited about org-mode! Thank you for developing such a great tool!
However, I found out that I can't have a footnote in a table cell. If I export such document to LaTeX, I get misplaced footnote:( I'm running MS Windows XP SP3 32 bit.

Works here [fn:: This is a good footnote]. Does it?

#+TBLFM: $1='(message org-version)::$2='(message emacs-version)

Some text here.

Footnotes in tables are difficult. Even if you leave out org completely
and just look at latex, things are far from simple. There is a FAQ and
an answer on this topic here:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab
As you can see, things are not simple even if you write in latex. None
of this is implemented in org.
Best advice: don't use footnotes in tables. If you have to use them,
add them in a post-export pass, possibly by formatting the table outside
of org and including it from a separate file.
HTH,
Nick

Thank you, Nicholas!
That explains everything. I wonder how I didn't come across the link you mentioned before. I should have tried that simply in LaTeX.
