These are more latex questions than org-mode. On that note, I also recommend the visual FAQ for latex users: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/visualFAQ/visualFAQ.pdf Links are clickable leading to web pages that describe the particular elements that accomplish whatever task you wish. page 10 has an example of "raggedright" or "flushleft" text. for paragraph spacing, you want to modify latex variables \parindent and \parskip; whether these get transferred through latex2rtf, I have no idea. Sorry. HTH, eric
