I was expecting a nicely formatted letter. Which class were you using? Internal will look like a memo. Try the #+GROFF_CLASS: block or #+GROFF_CLASS: semiblock > 2. open an org document containing: > > #+AUTHOR: Mickey Mouse > #+TITLE: Example from Worg > #+GROFF_CLASS: letter No, you want to use fullblock, block or semi block. What happens with "letter" is that is a throwback from the Bell Labs in which the Memo Type 5 was used for letters. It had to be made available for sake of completeness. But, the Groff MM folks created a separate set of macros for letter writing in which within Org uses a separate class name. These are simplified, semiblock, fullblock or block. Hopefully these will give you are looking for. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Luis Anaya papo anaya aroba hot mail punto com "Do not use 100 words if you can say it in 10" - Yamamoto Tsunetomo
