Paul,
I don't know why but I missed this (probably very) useful message! Did not try
your suggestion yet.
I use manual ERT for cell rotations (always). The only (important I guess)
difference is that you suggest to use the "{\begin{sideways}...". I'll give
it a try and report back.
Apologies for not seeing this before,
Nikos
