Even if you leave out org completely = and just look at latex, things are far from simple. There is a FAQ and = an answer on this topic here: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=3Dfootintab As you can see, things are not simple even if you write in latex. None = of this is implemented in org. Best advice: don't use footnotes in tables. If you have to use them, add = them in a post-export pass, possibly by formatting the table outside of = org and including it from a separate file. HTH, Nick
