Thank you On reflection I think the best solution is to publish the wide tables as separate annexes which I can publish in landscape format. Even if we could get the @orient function working, I suspect it would create more problems than it would solve, e.g. with page breaks, and the end result would not be visually pleasing.

Sorry but DITA 1.3 new attributes table/@orient and entry/@rotate are currently not supported. Moreover this limitation is not documented in: Appendix B. Limitations and implementation specificities http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/limitations.html as it should be. > Should I be doing > anything else in order to rotate the table when outputting to pdf? > I'm sorry but I don't see how in practice (e.g. using XSL-FO 1.0 and Apache FOP) this can be achieved. If the table is just a bit too wide, may attribute scale="80" would help.
