I use different levels for parts (in the past), sections and subsections. Beyond that I just use lists. I haven't used blocks and columns (probably because it wasn't easily possible so far). Also I use separate org files for all presentations. See http://www.daisy2009.de/files/presentations/itc/egli__daisy_producer.pdf, http://liblouis.googlecode.com/files/liblouisSlides.pdf and http://liblouis.googlecode.com/files/liblouisSlides.org for examples Here's the relevant expert from my .emacs --=-=-= Content-Disposition: inline Content-Description: relevant exerpt from my .emacs '(org-export-latex-classes (quote (("beamer" "\\documentclass[]{beamer} \\usetheme{Frankfurt} \\usepackage{multimedia} \\usepackage[english]{babel} \\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \\usepackage{hyperref}" ("\\section{%s}" .

I don't really care about that too much (in fact I think it just introduces confusion). I just always used lists for bullet points. > 3.

This sounds reasonable, as I usually create an outline of the ideas first and from that create a presentation. Later I might reuse it for a paper, so I don't really want it to be interspersed with layout information. > Thomas asked for the possibility to export a subtree as a > presentation, with *relative* levels determining functionality.

I don't have a need for that as I use separate files for each presentation. Another thing that I tried to use was alerts (and colors) in bullet points. I seem to remember that it didn't work. I should try again. It appears that Eric managed to get them to work.
