Hi, I have a document containing a wide table. I would like to have the table rotated 90 degrees, along with the text on that page (which would be in three columns above the table). So I would have (view in fixed pitch) -------------------- page header -------------------- | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx | || | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx <--- all this is sideways! | || xxxxxx | || | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx | || xxxxxx -------------------- page footer -------------------- Is there a way to do this? Thanks, -- John Devereux

Did you try \rotate at all? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

[...] Hi, I did try that (after a suggestion off-list from Mojca). Unfortunately columns did not seem to work, and things like the textwidth were all wrong. I don't really know enough to fix it all in a reasonable time. As a workaround I did try making the entire page landscape (and removing headers and footers). But that did not seem to play well with imposition - I tried lots of combinations and could not get it right. So for now I am going to just "transpose" the table, i.e. exchange rows and columns so it is tall instead of wide. But I would still be interested in general suggestions for: - how to deal with a "wide" table - how to have a single page "landscape" and not mess up imposition - how to typeset text in "landscape" direction on a "portrait" page (with "portrait" headers) -- John Devereux

Another alternative might be to write out your table in the current incarnation (portrait mode), as a PDF document, and read it back as an image with rotation applied. saji
