If I specify a paper height of 11" and a paper width of 8.5" (US letter size), that indicates that I expect to print on tall/narrow paper. LyX passes page dimensions and landscape v. portrait to the geometry package. Functionally, the geometry package interprets landscape v. portrait as rotate/do not rotate the text. So flipping the paper width and height is essentially equivalent to switching the portrait/landscape decision, provided that you also swap margins when flipping paper dimensions. Paul
