[Orgmode] Org-mode and fill-column value
Hi, I would like to set my fill-column variable to a bit higher value since I have no real need to keep it at 70, however my attempts seem not to be working. The relevant section in .emacs looks like this: ,- | (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) `- I then added this line: ,- | (setq fill-column 85) `- I've tried using it before and after the text-mode-hook setting above, but when I restart emacs and do =C-x f= to set the fill-column variable to 85, the minibuffer reports: ,- | Fill column set to 85 (was 70) `- Something isn't getting set. I guess this isn't necessarily an org-mode issue, but I thought someone might know why it's happening here? I can't find much discussion when searching for org-mode users also using fill and if they set the fill-column value or not.

Try (setq-default fill-column 85) in your .emacs. Nick ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
