Thanks for the suggestion. It is not easy to do that because the seminar style uses several PostScript specials. These would all have to be rewritten to used pdflatex. Also, I am incorporating PostScript figures into the slides. I would have to convert all of them to PDF for pdflatex. Another person showed me that I can do what I wish by changing the PostScript Prolog. Dvips produces %%BeginSetup %%Feature: *Resolution 1200dpi TeXDict begin @landscape %%EndSetup If I modify this to %%BeginSetup %%Feature: *Resolution 1200dpi TeXDict begin << /PageSize [792 612] /Orientation 0 >> setpagedevice %%EndSetup I can convert the PostScript file to PDF with ps2pdf and get the desired orientation.
