Page Layout ⇒ beamer indentation issue

[sergiyn]

Hi, I have a seemingly easy problem, but cannot solve it.

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[8pt]{beamer}

%\setlength\parindent{-0.25in}

\usetheme{default}
\usepackage{bookman}
\usepackage{wrapfig}

\begin{document}
\title{Determining precision of gene expression measurements}   
\author{S. N.} 
\date{\today} 

\frame{\frametitle{Intro} 
\noindent \hspace{-5mm} blah
\begin{itemize}
	\item<1-> Analysis of incomplete data when the variables are unordered categorical.
\end{itemize}
}

\end{document}

I'd like to change indentation inside my slides but don't know how. Basically, I want to do something equivalent to \hspace{-5mm} in the slide above, but I don't want to repeat this everywhere.
I checked the web and beamer manual, and couldn't find the solution. Resetting \parindent did not help.

Hope someone will be able to help me out. Thank you very much!

Hi Sergiyn,

you could change the margin. Try \setbeamersize, for example:

Code: Select all

\setbeamersize{text margin left = 1em}

Great, this works exactly the way needed! Thank you from Cambridge, MA!
