I use M-x then org-freemind-export-to-freemind in order to export an org-mode doc to freemind. However, when I open it I see that it's exporting up to 3 levels and levels 4 and on becoming notes. Is it possible to specify to export all levels as nodes? (except for actual unleveled standard text notes).

I was wondering if you can get automatic numbering for headings in org-mode,something similar than the one used for simple lists. For example I can have this list:
one
two
three
And I can reorder it to
1. two
2. three
3. one
The list items change but the list numbers stay the same. How can I do something similar with headings so that I can reorder the headings in a similar way.
1 One
2 Two
3 Three
To
1 Two
2 three
3 One
Orgmode now has a built-in minor mode for this, contributed by Nicolas Goaziou.
Simply do M-x org-num-mode to activate the display of dynamic headline numbering.
If you are looking for a way to show this in Org itself, then I'm afraid this is not possible. However you can do this easily in the exported document. Look at the exporting chapter in the manual.
You can provide an option like this: #+options: num:2. Then all headlines at the 2nd level or above will be exported with a number. You could then adjust the headlines as you wish in Org, without affecting the numbers in the exported document.
What's the best way to associate file extensions with my own customizations? For example, when I open a .py file the frame would be bigger and split into 2 windows, but when a .tex file is opened the frame would be smaller with just one window. Should I split my .emacs and write all configurations associated with python in a .el file (key bindings, python shell = ipython, etc ...) and for latex in another .el file (load auctex, pdf mode = default, etc ...)? How would I "call" the files and make them work appropriately (if that'a possible and good solution)?
(First, +1 to #phils's comment. You will get better help if you are more specific about what you need/want.)
Depending on just what you need/want, see also variable (not option) file-name-handler-alist. You might not need it, but you might.
You can make use of it if you intend all or particular operations on the files to involve additional actions (such as those you describe). For any operations where you do not need special treatment, just provide the default behavior. For the others, provide the default behavior plus the extra behavior (in whichever order is appropriate).
See (elisp) Magic File Names for more information.
I'd like to be able to apply tags to regions of code and text and to be able to use these to narrow visibility to navigate - ideally across multiple files. So for example if I was researching C16th European history I could tag insert and and zoom around around cromwellish stuff quickly, limit my searches to cromwellish regions, etc. It's important that tags pairs shouldn't have to be "well-formed" because I might want to start an region inside of a but end first. And, obviously, I'd to be able to list all my tags, and to search or narrow on combinations of them.
I can't find anything like this. Org-mode comes closest, but its tags are headline based, which makes stopping one tag while continuing other painful - plus I need headlines as headlines, and I'd like to be able to tag code this way too.
Is there anything like this? Or any toolkit that would be a good start to write this?
Library Bookmark+ provides what you are asking for, I think. It enhances standard Emacs bookmarking in several ways, including some that respond to your request.
You can bookmark locations of all sorts, and the recorded bookmark information can include the region limits/context. (If the region is active when you set the bookmark then the region info is recorded.)
When you jump to the bookmark, the region is re-activated (if the region was recorded).
If the content of the destination file (or whatever) has been modified since the bookmark was last updated, so that the text around the recorded region has changed, the bookmark and region are automatically relocated (assuming that the new destination and limits are recognizable and thus locatable).
Bookmark+ also lets you tag any bookmark (or file), in multiple ways. Tags are arbitrary, free-form strings (but you can also optionally associate arbitrary Lisp values with them.)
And you can list all tags, search and narrow on tag combinations (unions, intersections, etc.). Tags are one of the most important Bookmark+ features.
Library Icicles provides additional enhancements regarding the use of Bookmark+ bookmarks and tags.
I am trying to put the Microsoft Word document in emacs using org-mode. I have copied the Word Document and pasted in emacs. I like to achieve the headings like 7.1.2.4 in org-mode format.
and then link the TOC to appropriate headings. How I can do that? Any suggestions? Any programming language like Perl has done it?
Thanks.
There is ODT2ORG (https://bitbucket.org/josemaria.alkala/odt2org/wiki/Home) which lets you import odt files in org-mode.
Use Openoffice/Libreoffice to produce an .odt from your .doc.
Use odt2org to get an .org.
About the headings: I am not entirely sure I understand you.
there is org-toc.el included in org-mode that provides a seperate buffer with a TOC of your current document (like in Reftex). All the entries there are already links to the individual headings. Also, an exported document will have a TOC included by default without your intervention.
Orgmode does not support automatically numbered headings (yet). However, if you want to export your document to html, docbook, latex, or pdf, your headings will appear numbered and nested (you can tweak the settings quite a lot).
I doubt that you will get your intended result purely automatically but it should work 70% automatically, especially if you have latex installed and simply want to have a good-looking pdf in the end. Convert doc to odt, convert odt to org, open and type "C-c C-e d".
Another option: Save as an HTML file, then use Pandoc to convert the HTML to an .org file.
I've converted loads of Word documents into Org files. It takes minutes to do it by hand.
If you want cross-references, use internal links (4.2 in the current manual).
The * and ** style headings are always likely to be there in Org. Think of the use case where exports are compiled from #+INCLUDEd files, or you have done a selective export using tags. Any kind of single sourcing technology isn't going to display the numbering.
There is a ruby gem which converts doc to md. With pandoc you can convert to org.

Is there a package that allows me to have multiple Occur result buffer for the same buffer (like grep-a-lot: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/grep-a-lot.el).
I run into this issue when analyzing log files for multiple keywords (say to see what different but related threads were doing).
You don't need an additional package. C-ur will rename the current occur buffer to an unique name. You can add occur-rename-buffer to occur-hook to make it automatic (see the documentation of occur-rename-buffer which mentions this, too).
