Purely at the org level, there may be a better way, but this is what I came up with: you can hack around this by defining your own "class". E.g. in your org file you say #+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass and you add a definition for ``myclass'' to org-export-latex-classes, something like this (I just copied the ``article'' entry, modified the name and added the babel stuff - and you probably still need to add the \selectlanguage more-or-less by hand, but I guess you can do it at the org level): (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes '("myclass" "\\documentclass[11pt]{article} \\usepackage[nynorsk]{babel} \\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \\usepackage{graphicx} \\usepackage{longtable} \\usepackage{hyperref}" ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}") ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}") ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}") ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}") ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}"))) Does this help? Nick
