I am trying to rotate a table to fit it in a page but can't seem to make an example work with sidewaystable or sideways. Here is a simple code that I found online and should supposedly work fine but does not work for me. The table and caption both appear in horizontal orientation, and the table is pushed further down the page and away from the caption. Thanks for any help.

documentclassarticle
usepackagerotating
begindocument
begintable*

captionSome description% 
labeltab:the_table% 
beginsideways% 
begintabular
hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
endtabular
endsideways
endtable*

I cannot see it. However, here is a solution with hvfloat:

documentclassarticle
usepackagehvfloat
begindocument

hvFloat[%
 floatPos=!h,
 objectAngle=90,
 capPos=t,
 capVPos=t,
]table%
 begintabular
 hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 endtabular%

Don't nest a sideways environment inside a table* environment. Depending on your typesetting objectives, you should either

• use a single sidewaystable environment, which will rotate the entire contents of the environment, including the caption, or




• use a rotatebox90... directive to rotate just the tabular environment. Use 90 for a counterclockwise turn or -90 for a clockwise turn.

Note that a sidewaystable environment always occupies an entire page.

Here's some sample code that illustrates both options.

documentclassarticle
usepackagerotating % for 'sidewaystable' env.
begindocument

%% First option: use a 'sidewaystable' env.
beginsidewaystable
centering
captionSome description
labeltab:the_table 
begintabular
hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
endtabular
endsidewaystable

%% Second option: use a 'rotatebox{90)...' directive
begintable
centering
captionSome description
labeltab:the_table 
rotatebox90% 
begintabular
hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
 Text A & Text B & Test C \hline
endtabular
endtable

Turns out that dvi version doesn't show the rotated table but both alternatives (the version I posted and the one brought response) look fine when converted to pdf.
