Also see > I finally got around to trying this. Here are my thoughts: 1. Damn this is good ! 2. Yay !! 3. Oh C-c C-e O opens the ODT file in both Emacs and LibreOffice. I woul= dn't have expected that. Would have thought it would open in LibreOffice o= nly. C-c C-e D exports to PDF and opens a PDF viewer. It does not open up = the PDF file in Emacs (either as a plain buffer or a DocViewer buffer). 4. Its nice to be able to open the ODT file in archive mode. Not sure how I'd use it but its a good feature. 5. There were other issues but that had to do with LibreOffice rather then org-mode :) cheers, mehul --=20 Mehul N.
