Center Text with Beamer Theme

Post by stinkinrich88 »

Hello,

Is there any code I can put in my Beamer theme file which will make all normal text centered by default?

p.s. I'd like lists to be centered too, but still left-aligned relative to eachother :-)

Thanks,

Rich

Hi,

if by centered you mean justified, then this other thread could be helpful.

Hi,

I do mean centered (rather than justified). I tried to use the post you linked to, but the code they used looks like it will only affect itemize items, rather than normal text. Is there any way I can have all normal text centered by default?

I want to do this so that I don't have to put \begin \end{center} around everything as it makes everything centered in my beamer-article pdf...

Load the ragged2e package and add \justifying in the preamble of your document.

Thanks!

From your post, I guessed \centering would be what I wanted. I poped it in the theme file and it worked fine (no need for the ragged2e package)

Thanks!
