Is it (easily?) possible to take a long (horizontally) table and
rotate so that it fits on one page? The table in question is longer
than 8.5 inches but shorter than 11 inches.

Yes it is possible. But I don't think it can done within TeX or LaTeX.
It is dvips or dvi_whatever's job. I guess you have to check the dvi
driver's [or texprint's] option in your system. emTeX's dvihplj
provides an option of /tr1 to do this. We have such option for texprint
command on both unix and vax/vms system here at SUNY-Buffalo, but they
are product specific.riehm@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca (Carl Riehm) (01/03/91)

I guess you have to check the dvi etc It is possible within LaTeX - I just did it this weekend. Get the file portland.sty and follow the instructions within the file itself. I found it at the Clarkson archives, I believe. Carl Riehm.

I used rotate.tex in a LaTeX document (had to use \input{rotate}; trying to use rotate.sty as a style option failed). I got rotate.tex, rotate.sty, and samples from either Clarkson or Claremont, I forget which. I could rotate some small test tables, but couldn't get them centered. I tried \begin{center} [table] \end{center}; \hfill [table] \hfill; etc. Any help please? -------------- | regular | | table | | (centered) | -------------- _______________ | r t n c | | o a o e | | t b t n | I want this | a l t | -------------> here | t e e | over | e r | | d d | ---------------

The solution to my psfig question was also the solution to my rotated tables question. Thus, to center a rotated entity with rotate.tex, use the TeX command \centerline, NOT the LaTeX \begin{center} ... \end{center} environment. Works great! (Easy, too.)
