The subsequent emails to this list, by Nicolas but also by many others, has made a significant difference. I have moved over to the new exporter exclusively, with actually little change to my workflow incredibly! Things are going well but I do seem to be encountering some very obscure bugs, mostly to do with columns in beamer export. I've not been able to come up with a suitable minimal example yet unfortunately: when I take a slide which has problems out of the whole presentation and put it into a single slide document, it works... :( Anyway, work in progress. In any case, thanks are due, of course, to Nicolas and Bastien but I would also like to express my thanks to all other contributors to org, be they contributors to actual code or because of their engagement on this list! All are required for org to continue being the indispensable part of my life and all are appreciated greatly. thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org 7.9.3e-975-g1eccd2
