\hl (highlight command of soul) in beamer

[Maesumi]

Hi
\hl does not work in beamer.
Does any one know a solution?

spot, hlight, and similar commands do not work for long input
(anything including a line break)
Thanks

beamer redefines \reset@color and this breaks soul. You could try to
reset the command to its original locally:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{soul}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\Oricolor{%
\let\set@color\beamerorig@set@color
\let\reset@color\beamerorig@reset@color
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}

\setstcolor{red}
\sethlcolor{red}

\begin{frame}

\ul{abc} \hl{abc} \st{def}

{\Oricolor\hl{abc} \st{def}}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

No idea what you mean. Why don't you add some code?
