At least with the current version I cannot reproduce this - but I have been fiddling with the Export.

This is a problem with LaTeX, a special environment is needed for such tables, and because Org does not know the font and paper sizes, it cannot automatically switch. However, you can do now: #+ATTR_LaTeX: longtable | a | b | c | |-----------| | 1 | 2 | 3 | ......... which will switch to the long table environment just for this table. Hope this helps. - Carsten
