have a table rendered in tabular environment, within table,
within landscape. It uses the makecell package to render column
headers sideways.

A complete working example, which I render with pdflatex, is

Thank you, beamer appears to be exactly what I need.

I had heard of it, but for some reason ignored it, not realizing exactly

I will pursue beamer. Thanks again.

I'm in urgent need of a way to make slides from a PowerPoint
presentation someone slipped me, which I must to convert to company
style (we use only LaTeX), and I have almost no time in which to do
it. I am using the TeXLive disribution on both Mac OS X 10.5 and

Sorry, but I have not had to deal with this in years, but I've recently changed environments.

I now use TeXLive, both on Ubuntu and as MacTeX on my Macbook Pro, after ...

To reply to my own post -- the answer to some problems is
not a technical one but managerial, and often simple.

Instead of adding the \newcommand{\sanitize}{...} I added
the same identical code but called it \cleanup. That way
no legacy files have to be touched, the new name is more
obvious ...

Thank you, but no, that's not quite what I'm after.
