Dear (La)TeXers,

I have a big table. How can I layout it in landscape mode? Thanks.

Use the `rotating' package. It will provide you with the environments
`sidewaystable' and `sidewaysfigure' which will do what you want.

There are two other options; for a discussion of them all see p. 63 of
"Using Imported Graphics in LaTeX 2e", info/epslatex.(ps|pdf) on your
favorite CTAN mirror.

Thank you very much. In addition, I find only PS file exhibits this
effect, DVI does not with ``xdvi.''

That's right, most DVI viewers don't cope with the \specials used for
rotation. As I recall from a comp.text.tex posting a couple of days
ago (about this exact subject -- you should read earlier postings) by
Robin Fairbairns, only DVIwindo and WinDVI do.
