Save the message that contains the patch into a file, say /tmp/org-table-clean-before-export.patch, change directory to wherever elpa installed org (the top-level directory: you should be able to see lisp/, contrib/, etc. when you do an `ls') and then from the shell say $ patch -p1 < /tmp/org-table-clean-before-export.patch I got the following output when I did that against maint - you might get slightly different output: ,---- | patching file lisp/org-table.el | Hunk #1 succeeded at 440 (offset -7 lines). `---- Note btw, that `patch' saves the original file under org-table.el.orig, so if things go wrong at any point, you can go back by copying it over the modified file. If that succeeds, you'll want to do a `make install' or whatever other make target you used to install it in the first place: `make help' describes all the options. -- Nick
