Hello Jambunathan, I like this solution the best, as I already have LibreOffice installed. However, I am having trouble following the instructions in that thread. I cannot even get a simple .org file to export using the C-c C-e o command -- I get the error message "Symbol's value as variable is void: err". I have LibreOffice installed (on OSX) in /Applications/LibreOffice. Some additional information from Emacs/org-mode/org-odt is here: OVERVIEW [2 times] Export buffer: Debug (org-odt): Searching for OpenDocument schema files... Debug (org-odt): Trying /usr/share/emacs/etc/org/schema/... Debug (org-odt): Using schema files under /usr/share/emacs/etc/org/schema/ Debug (org-odt): Searching for OpenDocument styles files... Debug (org-odt): Trying /usr/share/emacs/etc/org/styles/... Debug (org-odt): Using styles under /usr/share/emacs/etc/org/styles/ call-interactively: Symbol's value as variable is void: err Export buffer: call-interactively: Symbol's value as variable is void: err I am using org-odt.el version 24.1 and org-mode version 7.8.11 (release_7.8.11-723-g0f3b6 I suspected that "soffice" was not in Emacs' path, so I added /Applications/LibreOffice/Contents/MacOS to the path, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, --Nate > >> >> Thanks, >> --Nate >> >> > > --
