i got the example below a while back on how to rotate a table
given dvips,...
i used it with one of my tables and report.sty
(and utdiss.sty - the dissertation style for u. texas)
the table was so wide that it's right-hand edge was only 1cm
from the top margin. however, there're almost 2 inches b/w
the left-hand edge and the page number (at the bottom of the
page).

is there a way i can move the table down to leave more space
at the top?

thanks,
lok
