Yup, I hadn't tested it with another (portrait) page and could get the
difference... :P

Thanks a lot for your help.

Dear Julio,

I think the result is as it should be. The page numbers never get turned 
with the content. This is because you normally don't want them turned 
since the landscape page is part of series of other pages in portrait. I 
have added some context so you see what I mean.


If for some reason you want the page numbers turned as well maybe this 
helps?

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.

Sideways longtable

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

I would like to have a long and wide table in such a way that allows me to
optimize the space on my document. I tried rotating a longtable, but an
error was produced. Then I defined my longtable and used the "pdflscape",
which produced a rotated page with a non-rotated table. Is there an easy
way to produce a rotated longtable in Lyx? Or should I produce table in
LaTeX code?

Thanks in advance.

Sideways Longtable

[Adrian Peter]

Hi,

Is there a way to create a longtable that is sideways (landscape)?  I tried to 
click on the rotate table 90 degrees option but that ended up giving me a bunch 
of errors.  Thank you.

Never mind about the landscape longtable.  I found a thread that said I should 
you the lscape package so I will try that option.  Thanks.
