Thanks. That's a start, but what I really want is to have long cells folded, so that one table row might become several lines in the ASCII export. For example, if my table looks like this in org: | / | <10R> | <20> | | | 1 | The quick brown fo=> | | | 2 | Now is the time for | I want my ASCII export to look like this: 1 The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. 2 Now is the time for all good me to come to the aid of the party. I've started looking at org-table-align to get a feel for how org deals with tables, but I'm still trying to puzzle out where this folding should be done. Any advice on that? Thanks, Mike
