Any ideas why the attached file puts the table down near the bottom right
hand edge of the page actually off the page?
Using \begin{table}...\end{table} puts it in the centre, whereas
\begin{sidewaystable}... gives the above effect :-(
BTW, the table I want to rotate in my main document (not the test) is a
float, does this make any difference?
Yours desparately,
