Hendri (or some other knowledgeable person): I can't figure out a specific problem with the orientation of an emptyslide (although there are a few similar problems). When compiling my latex file on linux latex file.tex latex file.tex dvipdf file.dvi or latex file.tex latex file.tex dvips -o file.ps file.dvi ps2pdf file.ps The resulting PDFs both have the emptyslide in a vertical orientation, while the Post Script has the correct, horizontal, like-the-rest-of-the-presentation orientation of the emptyslide. The code that I'm using is as follows: \begin{emptyslide}{} \centering \vspace{\stretch{1}} \includegraphics[height=0.8\slideheight]{einsteinbrain.eps} \vspace{\stretch{1}} \end{emptyslide} Thanks.
