[O] R: Re: tabularx from org to latex not recognized

[address@hidden]

Hello again, 

Yes, finally! I placed #+ATTR_LATEX line just before the table, saved the doc, 
exported to pdf and it worked. The table is nice and tidy, not jumbled up as 
earlier. Thank you for taking the time to fix this problem of mine. 

One last question. I read the "Affiliated Keywords" link you posted, it says 
“#+ATTR_BACKEND: VALUE” can appear more than once. Say I have 3 tables, in 
pages 1, 3 and 4 of my final document, does that mean I must place it before 
every table? 

Thank you again for your patience and help.

I checked, so now I'm sure :-) - see the org-syntax document on Worg,
section "Affiliated Keywords"
(http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html#Affiliated_keywords):

,----
| Affiliated Keywords
| 
| With the exception of inlinetasks, items, planning, clocks, node
| properties and table rows, every other element type can be assigned
| attributes.
| 
| This is done by adding specific keywords, named “affiliated keywords”,
| just above the element considered, no blank line allowed.
| 
| Affiliated keywords are built upon one of the following patterns:
| “#+KEY: VALUE”, “#+KEY[OPTIONAL]: VALUE” or “#+ATTR_BACKEND: VALUE”.
|
| ...
