Oh. Thanks very much for a prompt response. In fact, I was just
reading that extremely useful thread on this list where you proposed
this solution and provided the patch for the documentation.

The solution is not working for me somehow. Which is to say that, with
my limited knowledge of latex, I have not been able to understand
this. So may I please you to elaborate a bit.

I have this line:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=\footnotesize align=p{2cm}|r|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|

This does not produce any change.

I have also tried just:
 
#+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=\footnotesize

What am I supposed to do with [<options>]. Do i have to have some?

If it is relevant, my table is produced by a src block which processes
an R script.

So the entire frame looks like:

*** frame title
#+CAPTION: the table title here
#+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=\footnotesize align=p{2cm}|r|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results value :colnames yes :hline yes

[R script here]

#+END_SRC

I shall be grateful if you could help me tweak this.
