Hi Achim, I use a pre-canned Emacs for windows at work so I am not ever compiling emacs -- only the org-mode elisp code using the org-mode makefile after updating with the latest changes. I haven't been tracking the development branch of org-mode in about 3 years so I completely forgot about the org-reload function! Using org-reload is what I meant by 'restart'. I had been restarting emacs to use the latest compiled version of org-mode since starting to track the master branch a week or two ago when I upgraded from version 8.3. > >> What do you recommend? > > make up2 > > Then re-load org in your running Emacs session or restart Emacs as you > wish.

Living dangerously with my live org files at work doesn't sound like a smart thing to do at this point :) I'll try make-up2 and org-reload. Thanks! Bernt
