How to print PART of your document in LANDSCAPE mode

If you wish to print out a portion of your document (more than one page) in
landscape mode, you'll have to do it in two or more  passes.


1. When you want to switch into landscape mode, change the margins to
correspond to the new page dimensions.

        \setlength{\topmargin}{0in}
        \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0in}
        \setlength{\evensidemargin}{0in}
        \setlength{\textwidth}{9in}
        \setlength{\textheight}{6.5in}

Is a reasonable way of doing it.


If you need to switch back into portrait (normal) mode, just reset the
margins back.

2. Latex the document as normal. 

3. Print out the document as normal, except select only those pages that
aren't in landscape mode.

4. Print out the document with the landscape option (-t landscape in dvips),
selecting only those pages that are in landscape mode. 

5. Shuffle the two printouts together into the the right order.
