Re: landscape & page numbers

Hi, it's me again, I've done more searching on this and haven't found a solution.
But I'm not sure if I stated the problem clearly in my earlier post.
Basically, I just need specific pages to appear in landscape mode (which I have been able to do).
However, I need the page numbers to rotate with ...

landscape & page numbers

Hi,
I have a dissertation in Lyx (document class is article) and I have certain pages that need to appear in landscape instead of portrait. These specific pages contain long tables that won't fit in the margins in portrait mode. So I added \usepackage{pdflscape} to my preamble

I tried to use your suggestion by putting these two lines at the end of the preamble...

\renewcommand\cftsecdotsep{\cftdotsep}
\renewcommand\cftsecleader{\cftdotfill{\cftsecdotsep}

Is that the correct syntax? I don't get an ...

Re: citation help

Ok, I figured out how the a's and b's are being assigned to my citations... It goes alphabetically by the title. I wanted it to go by the order that I cite them in the text. But I don't know how to change the rules by which it assigns the letters. Any help there?
Thanks,
Megan
