 Thanks very much for your reply. The proposed method 
 in this reply won’t work. It needs to be in the following
 structure where this line 
 
  “\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{“
 
 is after “\begin{table}[htb]” and immediately before 
 “\begin{tabular}{rr}”. 

Why is that?  Is it because table is a float?

You could try repurposing the :caption attribute.  See: 

  (info (org) LaTeX specific attributes)

Hope this helps,

Thanks very much for your reply. The proposed method

structure where this line 

 “\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{“

is after “\begin{table}[htb]” and immediately before 
“\begin{tabular}{rr}”. 

I don’t know how to achieve that in the org syntax. 

\begin{table}[htb]
\caption[caption]{\label{tablelabel} caption}
\centering

\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
\begin{tabular}{rr}
1  4 \\
\end{tabular}
}}

\end{table}

Thanks, 
Zhihao

 Hi there, 
 
 I am trying to find a way to automatically resize tables
 in the latex output.
 
 When doing slides in beamer, I use this to resize tables 
 to fit in a frame
 
 #+LaTeX: \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
  | . | . |
 #+LaTeX: }}
 
 While when writing reports, I use the following instead 
 as I need to cross reference it by the name
 
 #+CAPTION: table caption
 #+NAME: table:label
  | . | . |
 
 then I loose the resize facility.  How could I combine 
 the two? I tried to fiddle with 
 #+ATTR_LATEX but didn’t mange to make it work. 
 
 I don't follow.  Why do you say you lose the facility?  The following:
 
  #+LaTeX: \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
  #+CAPTION: table caption
  #+NAME: table:label
 | . | . |
 | . | . |
  #+LaTeX: }}
 
 exports as:
 
  \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
  \begin{table}[htb]
  \caption{\label{tab:orgtable1}
  table caption}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
  .  .\\
  .  .\\
  \end{tabular}
  \end{table}
  }}
 
 Isn't that exactly what you want?

Thanks. This idea works, based on which I used the following 
in the end. 

#+NAME: tbl:lab
#+ATTR_LATEX: :caption \caption[short]{\label{tbl:lab} long.} 
\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!} \centering

It does’t look very org like but is good that it works.

Thanks, 
Zhihao

I'm not sure whether it is related, but I have had problems with using a
colon in names of objects.  Using, say, 'table;label' instead of
'table:label' might help.

Cheers,

Loris
