rotations will not normally affect the page size so if you want a page that's 80 
x 250 you should specify that. Again if you don't want to rotate the text why 
use the extended class (even if the rotation has been removed). Rotations work 
around an origin, in our case that's the bottom left hand corner of the page x=0 
y=0.
