Hi Group,

I am trying beamer for the first time. I have pasted my file below.
First,notice in the
first slide that it takes 3 clicks of "page down" to make it through
the slide. How
can I change this to one.

Also, I am trying to fit this table into 1 slide. It will be on a
large projector, so I think
it should be fine. I tried using \small, but this does not seem to
change things.

Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Juliet

Or indeed any other font size tht will fit. If you use the fix-cm package, you can use \fontsize{size}{baseline}\selectfont to set any font size on any baseline, and keep adjusting it until it's as big as it needs to be both to fit and to be readable.
