I like to justify the texts inside the block using beamer.
I cant do that in presentation. Can any one please help me?

You can use \justifying
from the ragged2e package; you can patch the \frame
command to use \justyfing
, but you will also have to invoke \justifying
for some other environments which internally use \raggedleft
(for example, the beamer blocks, and the list-like environments enumerate
, itemize
, etc.). A little example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\apptocmd{\frame}{}{\justifying}{} % Allow optional arguments after frame.
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\lipsum[2]
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\begin{block}{text}
\justifying
\lipsum[2]
\end{block}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Thank you so much, I didnt invoke \justifying every time.....Also Can you please tell me- How can I write the block title at the center?– MahzabinMay 13, 2012 at 2:18

This fails when you use
\begin{frame}{frametitle}...\end{frame}
... the frame title is put in the frame body, not header.– rubenvbApr 8, 2015 at 12:22 -

@Marco add ad-hoc
\justifying
on the column block, or patch the column block as was done for text. Jul 6, 2016 at 10:22 -
@Gonzalo: Thanks for the answer. But what is the difference between \justify and \justifying? I have googled the question but did not find any answer. Thank you. Jun 13, 2018 at 14:30
You can use \parbox{}
.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\lipsum[2]
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\begin{block}{text}
\parbox{\linewidth}{\lipsum[2]}
\end{block}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
It is a bit less exotic than the other answer's solution.
I found that one can achieve text justification in beamer by including
\renewcommand{\raggedright}{\leftskip=0pt \rightskip=0pt plus 0cm}
in the preamble.
I have done so in a big document with 70 slides without noticing any side effect. Nevertheless, the link is very old (2008) so I do not know if care should be exercised in the application of this workaround (possible compatibility issues, conflicts with packages, environments and the like, etc.).
