????? Really?
To me it required only:
+ going to the end of the "(setq " line
+ C-x C-e
then the next tag is inserted in column 100.
When I modify the older headings the
tag shifted accordingly.
May I sugest you to read the Emacs tutorial
C-h t
or surf the Emacs guided tour
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/
and to read the Emacs Lisp Intro (it is an
*introduction* to Emacs Lisp; it is not though
for programmers, but for users
who want to customize Emacs... well isn't Emacs the
"The extensible self-documenting text editor?" ;-)
cheers,
Giovanni

The older settings remained at the old column setting until I restarted.
Since I have more than 100 headings in some org files, I wanted to
adjust them all (not just the new ones). I have sometimes used C-x C-e,
but I find that often I just restart. But yes, I agree: I would
certainly know more if I read more. I occasionally do look through the
manual, and I have even spent time with the Lisp intro; but unless one
uses these functions one a regular basis, it can be tough to remember
the details.
Cheers.
Ross
