landscape and headings

[Renato Serodio]

Hello all,

I'm trying to make a document containing both portrait and landscape
pages (the latter being just a few, for tables). Also, I use fancyhdr
for header and footer composition.

I started out with "lscape" package, which rotates the page properly
and allows both orientations. The problem is, the headers are not
rotated (a design feature, as far as I understood). Then I tried with
"portland", but this one doesn't cope.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to rotate both the page and the
headings, so that the text is coherent?

Regards,

Renato

\usepackage{fancybox}

\begin{Landscape}{\paperwidth}{\paperheight}{\rotatebox{90}}
content of Landscape page
\end{Landscape}

If the document is for printing rotating headers doesn't make much
sense, it would look odd if the headers are on the left. So I guess you
are trying to make a document for the screen.

On screen you are not really rotating tables or text but you want for
some pages another pagesize and another layout. Changing the pagesize
is easy with pdfTeX:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[dvips]{geometry}

\begin{document}
text \hfill text

\newpage
\pdfpagewidth=30cm
\pdfpageheight= 15cm

text \hfill text

\end{document}

But is quite difficult to change the layout.

You will have to define a new pagestyle (e.g. with fancyhdr) that use
your new textwidth. And you will have to change some values for the
margins, which are not easy to change inside a document. It will need
some fiddling:

Another possibility is to make the tables in another document and to
import them with pdfpages. Then you will have to fiddle only with the
page numbers.
