Thanks Stig.

Could be, I've set 'org-export-to-latex' to "s-#" which I've found is
far quicker and easier than 'C-c C-e l l', but its perfectly possible
that I'd mangled it at some point. And yes, I had looked at that page
but didn't find any easy way of sorting it out, so it just had to be
done manually. Its thrown my writing schedule off but it should catch up
over the weekend, I hope?! :)

Thanks
Sharon.
