Hi,

When using the amsbook class, MikTex 2.9 prints a sidewaystable on the left margin of a page. How to fix it and make the table placed on the center as the article class does?

\documentclass[12pt]{amsbook}
%\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}

\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{Table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c}
25 \\
50
\end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}

\end{document}

Thanks, Jian

This issue has been discussed recently [1]. The class and the package are not compatible. Consider to use another class.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is really bad news for me since I have to use the amsbook class to write my dissertation.

What is the reason to stick to this class? Probably there are alternative solutions.

This is a new situation.

I suggest to contact the class maintainer and report your problems.

And by the way, it is suggestive to put complete files into the attachment instead of posting them in the »Code« environment.

Thanks for help. when I debug this problem, I find that MikTex 2.7 works very well this case putting amsbook and sidewaystable together. However, MikTex 2.8 and 2.9 don't.

Might be caused by different versions of the class and package. Add the \listfiles command as very first line to your code and search the log file for the »*File List*« to compare versions.

I cannot reload MikTex 2.7 now since it is out of service at miktex.org. This is a worse thing.
