latex packages savetrees is persisting in my org-mode exporter

[Christopher W. Ryan]

I had been running Org mode version 7.9.3f, but I needed a feature only
available in version 8, so I upgraded, by downloading from the Org
website, and using comment characters in my .emacs file, like this:

;; Load org-mode
; (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/lisp")
; (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/contrib/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-8.2.4/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-8.2.4/contrib/lisp")
(require 'org)

Then I used it a few times to export a subtree from an org file,
exporting to pdf, using a latex package called savetrees.  I put this in
the subtree I was exporting:

** Review of assessment system, including instructions for bubble sheet
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: ReviewAssessmentSystemWithPreceptors-12-02-2013
:EXPORT_TITLE: Review of our system for assessing student's clinical
performance
:EXPORT_LATEX_OPTIONS: \usepackage{enumitem}
:END:
#+latex_header: \usepackage{savetrees}

Now some features I need don't work--specifically, features from here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-meeting-tasks.html

So I went back to Og 7.9.3f, or at least I thought I did, by changing my
.emacs to this:

;; Load org-mode
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/contrib/lisp")
; (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-8.2.4/lisp")
; (add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Org/org-8.2.4/contrib/lisp")
(require 'org)

But now every time I export a different subtree of that same org file, a
subtree that does not contain any mention of savetrees, to pdf, the
savetrees package is still loaded and used.  How do I stop it?

Thanks.

Delete the #+latex_header line from the file: just because you placed it
in a subtree does not make it subtree-local in scope.

Thanks!
Very interesting. I would not have thought of that. Especially since the
"offending" line of code appears in the org file after the subtree I am
trying to export.

Is there a better way to say
#+latex_header: \usepackage{savetrees}

in either org 7.9.3f or org 8.2.4?

Like using EXPORT_LATEX_OPTIONS  under PROPERTIES, or something like that?

I think so: you have an EXPORT_LATEX_OPTIONS property in your original
example, so if that works...

PS. I didn't test either this or the previous pronouncement, so caveat
    emptor.
