Hi,

Thanks for pointers. Using the UNNUMBERED property did not work. I applied the property to the top level heading and the second level heading. I believe it cascades down to the other headings, so everything was unnumbered.

The latex_header option worked though. It numbered the 3rd level heading and anything below it as well. For the

most part I will not have any headings below that anyway so it should be fine.

cheers,

mehul

Does this solve your problem:

#+latex_header: \renewcommand{\thesection}{}
#+latex_header: \renewcommand{\thesubsection}{}
#+latex_header: \renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\arabic{subsubsection}}

Depending on your usage, you might have to disable counter reset between
sections/subsections. You might be able to use the chngcntr package for
that.

You might be able to use the Org UNNUMBERED property, though I doubt it.
