Ok, I've more or less sorted it out. I installed the chngpage package
and added Evil Red Text surrounding the figure inside the float.
The LaTeX produced is:
\newpage
\begin{center}%
\begin{figure*}[h]
\begin{center}\begin{adjustwidth}{-4em}{-4em}\includegraphics[
angle=270,
origin=c]{slide2}\end{adjustwidth}\end{center}
\end{figure*}
\end{center}
\newpage
The two adjustwidth commands are what did it; once I expanded the
margins the centering worked as designed :)
I'd still like to know if there's an easier way, say
\includepage{page.ps}
or similar, but this has solved my problem for the present.
Hope this helps someone,
Len
