Hi Julio,

So you want to rotate the content only on one of your pages, right? 
Otherwise you could just use Document->Settings->Page Layout->Landscape.


For only one page with a rotated table I had no problems with using

\usepackage{pdflscape}

in the Preamble and an ERT with

\begin{landscape}

before and

\end{landscape}

after the table. Notice that for it to work you have to disable 
Landscape in the document Settings. (Otherwise you get a double-rotation.)


If it does not work maybe you can send an example file.

PNG to EPS conversion creating huge temporary files

[Tyler Grummett]

Dear Lynx users,

Im currently having the problem where all the .png files in my document are 
converted to .eps (and stored in the cache folder) every time I copy them or 
try to convert them to the latex or tex format. The main issue of this is that 
it creates massive temporary files and the eps files in the cache folder also 
fill up my harddrive space dramatically.

I read as much as I could find online. I have made my default output pdflatex, 
and I have given it the extra flag "latex = pdflatex". There was one guide who 
suggested deleting the converters section in preferences file.

I cant think of what else I can do.

Please help.
Tyler

Sideways longtable

Dear all,

I would like to have a long and wide table in such a way that allows me to
