Are you sure that this does the requested? If I'm not completely mistaken this
only switches into landscape mode. But Eric asked for a portait mode where the
textarea (not the headers and footers) is 90° rotated.

This is frequently used for wide tables which fit rotated on the text hight
(which is then actually text width). Since this page belongs to the portait
formated document the headers and footers should remain on their standard
location. (I think LaTeX uses a minipage to realize this.)

Regards, groetjes,

Tobias
