Robert,

That could be what I had to do.  I just couldn't remember what it was, I just 
remembered I had the same problem and found a way to fix it.

I found that I needed to remove this from the class options 



nopsheader


Have to go back to the powerdot manual and see what that does, but apparenty it 
has

to be removed to get a landscape .pdf, at least for me.

I had something the same happen when I upgraded to 1.6.1, but I can't remember 
exactly what the problem was.

Some things to check:

Under Document>Settings>Document Class make sure you 
have "display=slidesnotes" (or something similar) in the Class Options

Under Document>Settings>Page Layout select Landscape

Under Document>Settings>Page Format select Letter (Default or A4 will give 
portrait PDF file, even if you select Landscape: Default changes the aspect 
ratio to fit Portrait, and A4 trims the right side to fit Portrait).

The last one is probably your problem.

Trouble getting a powerdot output in landscape

2009-02-19 Thread Robert Orr
Hi list,

Has anyone had trouble getting a powerdot doc to create a landscape .pdf?

I just upgraded to 1.6.1 and re-installed everything (miktex, gv, gs, 
jabref,etc) but now my powerdot .lyx files display portrait instead of 
landscape in the .pdf output.  using ps2pdf to generate it.

I'm not sure what could have gone wrong.   Anyone have idea or maybe experience 
with such a problem?

Thanks
