For the time being I am stuck with this version. I am sending a request to our IT group to upgrade Emacs to the most recent version for the version of RedHat we have, this should have a more recent version of org-mode, if I am lucky that should be done in a couple weeks. In the mean time I will manually add, or exclude, what I want from the exported "*.tex" file. For the little I have done with org mode I still think it looks like a great package and I am planning to learn to use it better so I use it more. Thanks to all contributors.
