Error with Prosper doc class

Post by workerbee »

Hi All,

I was attempting to use the Prosper document class and as an experiment was making a simple slide with a table. For some reason, Latex keeps giving me an error message that highlights my "\end{slide}" command. The following is the text and code I input in Latex:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[pdf,blends,slideColor,colorBG]{prosper}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{makeidx,epsfig,lscape}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{float}

\begin{document}
\begin{slide}{EXAMPLE 5.1: CFA with continuous factor indicators}
\begingroup
 \centering\small
 \setlength\extrarowheight{2pt}
\begin{tabular}{| m{2cm} p{9.8cm} |}
\hline
TITLE: & this is an example of a CFA with continuous factor indicators \\
DATA: &	FILE IS ex5.1.dat; \\
VARIABLE: &	NAMES ARE y1-y6; \\
MODEL: & f1 BY y1-y3; \\
&	f2 BY y4-y6; \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\endgroup
\end{slide}

\end{document}
Can anyone shed some light into why this is happening and how I can fix it? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

The prosper class and the bug fixing HA-prosper package are considered obsolete. Use the powerdot class and try again. Pay special attention to the hints in the manual concerning compilation of the presentation.

Hi,

you could further try the beamer class.
Concerning prosper I agree with Thorsten. Btw. it seems you're mixing pdf and eps (option pdf, but packages epsfig and lscape, not pdflscape).
prosper, HA-prosper and powerdot may be used well for creating ps files, but especially with pdflatex I would choose beamer.
