[texhax] two minipages side-by-side in beamer

[Dieter Meinert]

 Chris,

 You make each minipage the width of then complete page, thus you get a 
 linebreak after the first one.
 
 Try \begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth} (personally I usually take 
 {0.49\textwidth to allow for a word separation between the minipages)

|=> I am using beamer on Win98 with MikTex.  I want to make two 
|=> itemized 
|=> lists, side-by-side, on a single slide.
|=> 
|=> Here is my preamble:
|=> 
|=> \documentclass{beamer}
|=> \usetheme{PaloAlto}
|=> \usepackage{graphicx}
|=> 
|=> \begin{document}
|=> 
|=> 
|=> 
|=> I tried using \begin{minipage} like this:
|=> 
|=> \frame
|=> {
|=> \frametitle{Interview}
|=> 
|=> \begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
|=>   \begin{itemize}
|=> 	\item current symptoms
|=> 	\item past medical history
|=> 	\item family history
|=> 	\item social history
|=> 	\item review of systems
|=> \end{itemize}
|=> \end{minipage}
|=> 
|=> \begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
|=> \begin{itemize}
|=> 	\item detect hypertension
|=> 	\item recognize emergency
|=> 	\item recognize reversible causes
|=> 	\item find chronic target organ damage
|=> 	\item discover co-morbid conditions
|=> 	\item plan therapy
|=> \end{itemize}
|=> \end{minipage}
|=> }
|=> 
|=> But I just got one 11-item bulleted list.
|=> 
|=> So I put in \twocolumn just below \frametitle{...}, but 
|=> that didn't make 
|=> any difference.
|=> 
|=> Anyone know how to do this?  Should I 
|=> \usepackage{multicols} (I think 
|=> there is something like that)?
|=> 
|=> Thanks.
