Hi

I'm having trouble using  the lscape package inside a portrait document.  The
landscaped page is "shifted" upwards and the upper part of the page is clipped. When
I put the landscaped table in a document by itself (using the same preamble as the
original one) the table comes out fine.

Anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it?.

Thanks in advance.
