Hi, Just now I noticed, the tree structure is working, but it is not hiding the stars. All texts are black in color. The links are literal like following. [[file:myfile.org][myfile]] > Does `M-x org-mode RET' activate Org Mode after you've opened the file? The above command does not improve the matter. > Do you have « ("\\.org\\'" . org-mode) » in auto-mode-alist? (check with > `C-h v auto-mode-alist RET') The above command returned several lines. In one of the lines I found the following Value: (("\\.org$" . org-mode) > M-x emacs-version RET GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of 2013-02-25 on platinum, modified by Debian >M-x org-version RET Org-mode version 7.9.3e (7.9.3e-3-gb07a9b @ /usr/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/org/) @ Sebastien Vauban I am not sure it is due to the reason you have mentioned or not.
