But the question is: why are you getting this error? The file should be loaded on demand. Are you using the upstream org-mode or the one that comes with your emacs? In particular, what version?[1] And how do you load org-mode from your .emacs (including any settings of load-path)? Also, can you do C-h f org-export-as-ascii and include the output in your reply? Thanks, Nick [1] C-u M-x org-version will insert the version string into the buffer, so you can easily annotate any email you send with the version. It is *always* a good idea to include the org-version with any questions/problems you send to the list, as well as the corresponding emacs version: C-u M-x emacs-version .
