Vertically? I think that's what you get by default (at least that's what I get). Horizontally? Each list item centered? I hope not - it's going to look ugly. You can do something like this --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer * foo #+LaTeX: \begin{center} one\\ two three\\ four five six #+LaTeX: \end{center} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and each line will be centered, but you cannot do this with a list: I think the box that the list occupies takes up the whole width of the slide, so centering it is a no-op. Or perhaps you want the whole box indented so that the items are closer to the center of the slide (but still left-aligned)? I think you can do that by playing with list parameters in LaTeX, but I don't have my references handy and don't know how to do it off the top of my head. > Is that a LaTeX thing or can it be done from within org-mode/beamer ? > The former, probably.
