Put the line in your $HOME/.emacs file and it will be set at startup. Another way is to use the interactive emacs customize system. I think this is the easiest and preferred way to do it. In this case (also availible from the menu bar: Options->Customize Emacs->...): M-x customize-variable RET org-tags-column RET will take you to a interactive buffer with documentation about the variable and buttons to take actions like save or reset settings. All possible settings are in groups use the interactive functions customize and customize-group to edit specific parts. Org mode has its own function to browse all settings: M-x org-customize RET For more information look att info page: (info "(emacs) Customization") I hope this helps! -- Mikael Fornius
