itemize environment within beamerposter

[Paul Z]

Hi all,

I'm using the beamerposter package with great joy. However, I've encountered a problem using the the itemize environment ... using

\begin{block}{Test}
\begin{itemize}
    \item Bla bla
\end{itemize}
\end{block}

Gives me the following error which I can not really interpret myself (the poster itself however looks good):

! Undefined control sequence.
\\itemize ...ix item}##1}}}}} \fi \beamer@cramped
                                                  \raggedright \beamer@first...
l.143     \item
             Bla Bla
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Does anybody has any solution for this?

Thanks and cheers, Paul.

Can you send more code? there's nothing wrong in how you are using the block and itemize environment

It looks like you have some fonts problem.

            \begin{block}{Introduction}

              \begin{itemize}

                            \item (HHP)  is  an alternative and  novel  method of food preservation in which elevated pressure (100- 800 MPa) is applied in a quasi-instantaneous manner throughout the food, and their application is independent of the size, shape or composition of products

                            \item \textbf{The benefits of HHP process are:}

                              

\begin{itemize}

\item  Can  \textbf{inactivate enzymes or microorganisms}. 

         \item  Can \textbf{ preserve texture, colour, flavor, aroma and nutritional value}.

\end{itemize}

             \item The  stress relaxation test can be used  as a tool to determine viscoelastic properties from the material. A constant strain is applied and the stress required maintaining the deformation is measured as a function of time \alert{(Steffe, 1996)}. 

              

               \item We analyzed:

                \begin{itemize}

                \item  Rheological parameters:  initial stress, equilibrium stress and relaxation time of cured beef \textit{Carpaccio} treated with HHP. 

                \end{itemize}

              \end{itemize}
