I am a beginner...  > org-export-dispatch is the top-level function used by the exporter in version 8.x of org-mode: it does not exist in earlier versions. It should just work if you have installed org-mode correctly, so the fact that it doesn't indicates that there is probably an installation problem. So the main questions are: o What version of emacs are you running and what version of org-mode? M-x emacs-version and M-x org-version will tell you that. o The source of your org-mode installation: are you using the org-mode that came with your emacs, or did you download a different version? If the latter, did you use a tarball, did you clone the git repo, did you download from ELPA, or perhaps something else? Answers to these questions should help to determine your next course of action. -- Nick
