Hi,

Does anyone know how to combine the rotating package with Palatino font? I
get an error message while compiling and landscape pages do not appear
correctly when using the book-documentclass. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanx,
Erik

\documentclass[10pt,dvips]{book}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{palatino}

produces the error
! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package rotating.
...
l.20 \usepackage
{palatino}

It gives wrong output in WinDVI, Ghostview and Acrobat. Landscape
pages are shown as such but they are 'mirrored' : the page numbering
is on the wrong side of the page etc.

that is nothing to do with palatino: you would have got the same error
if you had said \usepackage{rotating}{} (except for the context it
gives).

istr that some ancient versions of rotating had odd behaviours in
respect of option processing. your code doesn't give any problems for
me, with my copy of rotating: \listfiles in the header tells me

rotating.sty 1997/09/26, v2.13 Rotation package

look at the figuresright/figuresleft package options. (i can never
remember which is which.)
