Org mode can export to various formats. Export to LaTeX works well, but
it helps to know LaTeX when something unwanted happens. One of the
other export options might better suit your needs.
There are some examples of academic documents prepared with Org mode
that might help you follow the LaTeX export path,
e.g. http://www.jstatsoft.org/v46/i03,
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/uses.html#sec-6.
